Explanation:

Question:

Look at each expression. Is it equivalent to "the quotient of 10 plus x and y minus 3"?

a. (10+x)/(y)

b. (10+x)/(y-3)

c. 10+(x)/(y)-3

d. (10+x-3)/(y)

Solution:

Given statement:

The quotient of 10 plus
`x` and
`y` minus 3

From the statement we can have the following:

Dividend =
`10+x`

Divisor
`=y-3`

The quotient is given by dividend divided by divisor.

The quotient thus can be expressed as:

`((10+x))/((y-3))`
