$(x\div6)+5=19$

Let $x$ be the unknown variable. The quotient of a number and $6$ is represented by \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x\div6 .\end{array} The phrase "five more than the quotient of a number and $6$, translates to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (x\div6)+5 .\end{array} The additional phrase "gives $19$", tranlates to the equation \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (x\div6)+5=19 .\end{array}
