[Can you remind me what sum, difference, product, and quotient mean?]

Hint #22 / 4

Is Aviv correct?

Aviv said, "The entire expression is the quotient of $5a$5, a and $2a+3$2, a, plus, 3."

This fraction represents $5a$5, a divided by $2a+3$2, a, plus, 3:

$\dfrac{5a}{2a+3}$start fraction, 5, a, divided by, 2, a, plus, 3, end fraction

So Aviv is correct.

Hint #33 / 4

Is Marco correct?

Marco said, "On its own, $2a+3$2, a, plus, 3 is a sum with $2$2 terms."

The terms being added in the sum are $2a$2, a and $3$3:

$\boxed{2a}+\boxed{3}$start box, 2, a, end box, plus, start box, 3, end box

So Marco is correct.
