Answer 2

$\huge\mathbb\colorbox{black}{\color{lime}{Required Answer}} </p><p>$

a) Product of 8 and b => 8b

Therefore, 5 subtracted from the product of 8 and b => 8b - 5

b) Quotient of x and y => x/y

Therefore, 2 added to the quotient of x and y => x/y + 2

Note - We will not write x ÷ y, as this format is incorrect in the terms of writing expressions in algebra.
