The problem would be written out like this: n/5 + 4 = 16. We would have to subtract 4 from both sides to get n/5 = 12. Then, we multiply both sides by 5 and after that step, you get 60. n = 60.

Answer:
(x)/(5)+4=16\\\\and\\\\x=60

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The quotient of a number and five increased by four is sixteen a

Let the number be 'x'.

The quotient of a number and five is written as


(x)/(5)

And it is increased by 4 is written as


(x)/(5)+4

And the equation is equal to 16.


(x)/(5)+4=16

And the solution would be


(x)/(5)+4=16\\\\(x)/(5)=16-4=12\\\\x=12* 5\\\\x=60

Hence,
(x)/(5)+4=16\\\\and\\\\x=60
