\(w\) is divided by \(x\), the quotient is \(y\) and the remainder is \(z\).
\(w = xy + z\)
\(\frac{w - z }{ x} = y\)
Answer D
\(w = xy + z\)
\(\frac{w - z }{ x} = y\)

When w is divided by x, the quotient is y and the remainder is z
Theory: Dividend = Divisor*Quotient + Remainder
w -> Dividend
x -> Divisor
y -> Quotient
z -> Remainders
=> w = x*y + z = xy + z
=> xy = w - z
=> y = \(\frac{w - z}{x}\)
So, Answer will be D
Hope it helps!
