Question

If four times the sum of a number and 5 is divided by 3 , the result is 16

Answer 1

Answer: false

Explanation:

You need to divide 5 and 3 and you would get 1.6 repeating and then you drop the 4x and you should have gotten 4x plus 1.6 because 1.6 doesn’t have a variable. I hope this made sense.
