Question

which expression is equivalent to \9 more than the quotient of x and 5\? a. \\(\frac{x + 9}{5}\\) b. \\(\frac{5}{x + 9}\\) c. \\(\frac{9}{x + 5}\\) d. \\(\frac{x}{5}+9\\) e. \\(\frac{9}{x}+5\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find quotient of x and 5

The quotient of $x$ and 5 is $\frac{x}{5}$.

Step2: Add 9 to the quotient

9 more than this quotient means add 9: $\frac{x}{5} + 9$.

Answer:

D. $\frac{x}{5} + 9$
