Answer 1

I think the answer choices didn't copy/paste properly. The divided by sign didn't come through. I think they all come through as equal signs.

The answer should be:

n = (168-18) ÷ 25.

Just in case my divided by sign doesn't display properly, it should be:

n = (168-18) divided by 25.

I think that's what A is supposed to be but it didn't come through correctly in the question.
