Question

Which expression fits this description?• The expression is the quotient of two quantities.• The numerator of the expression is the product of 5 and the sum of x and y.• The denominator is the product of negative 8 and x.5.0 + y5(x + y)-8.2-80512 + y)- (8 + 2)5.2 + y-8+IDane >

Answer 1

The numerator for the expression is,

$5\cdot(x+y)=5(x+y)$

The denominator is the product of negative 8 and x, which means

$-8\cdot x=-8x$

So expression is,

$\frac{5(x+y)}{-8x}$

So answer is 5(x + y)/(-8x)
