Answer:
[tex]\frac{y+5}{\frac{1}{3}x}\text{ or }{\frac{3y+15}{x}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The quotient of two numbers [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] can be written as [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex], the first number mentioned being the numerator.
In this case, the first value mentioned is 5 more than a number y, which can be represented as [tex]y+5[/tex]. This is our numerator.
The second value mentioned is 3 times less than a number x, which can be represented as [tex]\frac{1}{3}x[/tex] or [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex]. This is our denominator.
Thus, the quotient of these two numbers is [tex]\frac{y+5}{\frac{x}{3}}=\frac{y+5}{1}\cdot \frac{3}{x}=\frac{3(y+5)}{x}=\boxed{\frac{3y+15}{x}}[/tex]
