Translate the sentence into an equation.
Five more than the quotient of a number and 8 is 2 .
Use the variable w for the unknown number.

When translating sentences into equations you want to write it in number format from left to right.

You first start with five more than.

Which means that you are going to start with 5+

then you go to the next part of you sentence which is quotient of a number and eight,

that is represented by w/8 when you put the first two together you've got

5+(w/8).

Now the last step is 2, where is means equals,

so you have =2.

When putting them all toghether you get:

5+(w/8)=2 as your final answer.

Hope this helps ;)
