ll. The difference of quadruple a number and 5
lll. The Product of four and a number minus 5
A. ll Only
B. l,ll,lll Only

D. l only
F. lll only

Answer 1

The expression 4x-5 is accurately described by statements II, 'The difference of quadruple a number and 5', and III, 'The Product of four and a number minus 5'. The answer is 'C. l and ll Only'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 4x-5 can be interpreted in several ways. If we examine the options given:

1. 'Less than four times a number' would imply an inequality, which is not the case here.

'The difference of quadruple a number and 5' accurately describes the expression, as 'quadruple' means 'four times' and 'difference' indicates subtraction.'The Product of four and a number minus 5' is another correct interpretation, as the expression does indeed represent the product of four and a number, which is then decreased by 5.

Therefore, both statements II and III accurately describe the expression 4x-5. The correct answer to the question is 'C. l and ll Only'.
