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.

Answer 1

`(5(x+y))/(-8x)`

Explanation:

It is a fraction that usually has a numerator and denominator

the numerator is the number on top while the denominator is the number below

`(a)/(b)`

In the above fraction, a is the numerator while b is the denominator

Numerator =5 × ( x + y)

Denominator = -8x ( negative means there is a negative sign before 8)

( product means multiplication)

`(5(x+y))/(-8x)`
