Answer:
The required expression is: [tex]\mathbf{\frac{5(x+y)}{-8x}}[/tex]
Option C is correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the equation that fits the description.
a) the expression is the quotient of two quantities
The quotient is expressed as [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]
where a is numerator and b is denominator
b) The numerator of the expression is product of 5 and the sum of x and y
Sum of x and y = x+y
Product of 5 and Sum of x and y = 5(x+y)
So, Numerator of the expression is 5(x+y)
c) The denominator is the product of negative 8 and x
Product of negative 8 and x = -8x
So, denominator of the expression is -8x
Now, The required expression is: [tex]\mathbf{\frac{5(x+y)}{-8x}}[/tex]
Option C is correct option.
