which of the following represents a quotient from the expression given?

x/5+(7x-17)

5
17
12x^2
x/5

1 answer

To find out which one among the given options represents a quotient from the expression \( \frac{x}{5} + (7x - 17) \), we first need to analyze the expression.

The expression is the sum of two terms: \( \frac{x}{5} \) and \( (7x - 17) \).

A quotient is typically defined as the result of division, which in mathematical expressions can be represented by a fraction.

Among the options provided, \( \frac{x}{5} \) clearly represents a division of \( x \) by \( 5 \), which is a quotient.

Thus, the answer you're looking for is:

\( \frac{x}{5} \)
