Answer:

[tex]\frac{5(x+y)}{-8x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a fraction that usually has a numerator and denominator

the numerator is the number on top while the denominator is the number below

[tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]

In the above fraction, a is the numerator while b is the denominator

Numerator =5 × ( x + y)

Denominator = -8x ( negative means there is a negative sign before 8)

( product means multiplication)

[tex]\frac{5(x+y)}{-8x}[/tex]
