Question

Which expression shows the first step in dividing 5x+3 by x

Answer 1

Answer:first step in dividing is $\frac{5x}{x} +\frac{3}{x}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $\frac{5x+3}{x}$.

To find : Which expression shows the first step in dividing $\frac{5x+3}{x}$.

Solution : We have given that $\frac{5x+3}{x}$.

First step for division we will distribute denominator x over each numerator.

$\frac{5x}{x} +\frac{3}{x}$.

Therefore , first step in dividing is $\frac{5x}{x} +\frac{3}{x}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. $\frac{5x}{x}+\frac{3}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find the expression that shows the first step in dividing 5x+3 by x.

Upon writing our given expression as a division problem we will get,

$\frac{5x+3}{x}$

We can also represent our given division problem as:

$\frac{5x}{x}+\frac{3}{x}$

Therefore, the expression $\frac{5x}{x}+\frac{3}{x}$ shows the first step of our given division problem and option B is the correct choice.
