"quantity x minus 3" means (x-3)
without the "quantity" you'd have x - 3/y which is not the same
I see you also left out the parentheses in your choices. They are essential when doing math online, since vertical text formatting does not always work well.

To write the expression "quantity x minus 3 divided by y" correctly, you need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).
In this case, you're subtracting 3 from the quantity x and then dividing the result by y. So, the correct expression would be:
A) x - 3 / y
This option correctly represents the expression according to the given information. It's important to note that option C is also written as x - 3 / y, but since the subtraction should be done before the division, option A is the correct choice.
So, the answer is A) x - 3 / y.
