The answer is d because quotient means the outcome of a division between two numbers. So therefore it has to be a division equation, which is d.
Okay. So, what we do first is do the distributive property by multiply each number in the parenthesis by 3. When we do that, we get (6x + 12), because 3 * 2x is 6x and 4 * 3 is 12. Now, the numbers written out in long form is 5 + 6x + 12 + 6. 6x is in simplified form, because there is nothing that we can combine it with, but we do need to combine the whole numbers. 5 + 12 is 17, and 17 + 6 is 23. The expression in simplified form is 6x + 23. The answer is B.
now, for a rational expression, the domain, or "values that x can safely take", applies to the denominator NOT becoming 0, because if the denominator is 0, then the rational turns to
undefined.
now, what value of "x" makes this denominator turn to 0, let's check by setting it to 0 then.

so, the domain is all real numbers EXCEPT that one.
Answer:
Jemima is wrong because perimeter is sum of all sides and the perimeter of this figure would be the outer sides of it and not the inner sides.
