B:

Let x be any natural number (meaning any counting number not equal to zero).
2x is then an even number. Also let y>x also be any natural number, not equal to x. 2y is also then an even number.

Sum of two even numbers, 2x+2y;
That sum subtracted from 100, or , but the red-outlined form is better for seeing how it conforms to the description. They both are correct.


D:

WHAT? The quotient of those three numbers?
Quotient of x and 3 and y?
?
a quotient is between two numbers, so not sure what is the description. Maybe ;
Five less than that quotient, .
