Answer :

The variable expression is;

[tex]5\text{ + }\frac{x}{8}[/tex]

Here, we want to select an option that represents the phrase

The quotient of a number x and 8 means that we divide x by 8

That means we have a fraction, with x as the numerator and 8 as the denominator

We have this as;

[tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex]

5 more than this quotient means that we are to add 5 to the result

We have this as;

[tex]5\text{ + }\frac{x}{8}[/tex]
