Given; Word problems to translate to mathematical expressions

A) Let the number be x

[tex]\begin{gathered} Product\text{ of x and -4=-4x} \\ Eleven\text{ less than the product of -4x is -4x-11} \\ Required\text{ equation; -4x-11} \end{gathered}[/tex]

B) Let the number be y

[tex]\begin{gathered} Th\text{e quotient of a number and eight=}\frac{y}{8} \\ Sum\text{ of this quotient=7+}\frac{y}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

C) Let the number be c

[tex]\begin{gathered} The\text{ quotient of a number and 5=}\frac{c}{5} \\ Four\text{ less than this quotient=}\frac{c}{5}-4 \end{gathered}[/tex]
