Question

How would you write a word phrase for the algebraic expression d/5+2? The difference between the quotient of d and 5 and 2? The sum of 2 and the product of d and 5? The difference between 2 and the product of d and 5? The sum of the quotient of d and 5 and 2?

Answer 1

Answer: The word phrase for this expression is the last option, "The sum of the quotient of d and 5 and 2." d is being divided by 5, so we would use "quotient of d and 5" for that part, and then we would add the "sum" because d/5 is being added to 2.
