4 less than the quotient of x and -5

(x/-5)-4

4 less than this is (x/-5)-4

The equation would be...

(x/-5) - 4

"Quotient" means the answer to a division problem, so divide then subtract four.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
