1 Answer

2 votes

Answer:

No

Explanation:

[5+3x] is an expression that cannot be added because 5 is a natural interger but 3x is an unknown

and therefore it cannot be divided by 2 to get 4

Better example :

if the question will give 4x , then

it should be [5x+3x]/2 = 8x/2 = 4x

it's obvious from the example I gave that 8x can be divided by 2 to give 4x
