Given the word problem:

The numerator of the expression is the product of 5 and the sum of x and y and The denominator is the product of negative 8 and x.

The numerator will be the value on top in a fraction.

Here, the numerator is the product of 5 and the sum of x and y ==> 5(x + y)

The denominator is the value below in a fraction.

Here, the denominator is the product of negative 8 and x ==> -8x

Therefore, the expression that fits this description is:


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