Answer:

B. (x÷9)-7

Explanation:

The quotient is the answer of division, therefore we know that x is divided by 9. We know which is divided by which because of the order the phrase is written. So far we have:

x ÷ 9

Now we subtract seven because the phrase states that it is seven less then the quotient. Therfore our answer is:

(x ÷ 9) - 7
