The sentence tells us that "Five more than the quotient of a number and 7 is equal to 8."
Let's start by identifying the unknown number using the variable w.
The quotient of a number and 7 can be written as w/7.
The sentence also states that "Five more than the quotient" is equal to 8.
So, we need to add 5 to the quotient (w/7) and set it equal to 8.
Putting it all together, the equation becomes:
(w/7) + 5 = 8
