Aidan, please use more parentheses so that there's no question about what's being divided by what.

I am unsure whether the final " /a " indicates division of (b+3) by a or division of the entire expression before " /a " by a.

Here is the way I'm going to interpret your math problem:
            b        2(b+3)
a+5 - ------ + ---------
           b-4         a

Subbing 2 for a and 3 for b, we get
                3          2(3+3)
2 + 5 - --------- + -------------
              3-4             2
                                           12
This comes out to 7 + 3 + ------ = 10+6 = 16
                                             2

Answer:

D) 16
