so quotient of
x divided by y
three less than a number
x-3

and 5

5

means
(x-3)/5

1.quantity 1 would be the numerator or n minus three

2. the phrase is (x-3)/5
you must use a grouping symbol () because if you didn't the problem according to PEMDAS would be
x-(3/5) according to PEMDAS instead of (x-3)/5 as it should be

3.the quantity x minus three divided by 5
