Your question states...
Sixteen -------> 16
divided by -------> /
the sum of x and 5 -----> x+5
is 12 ------> = 12
16/x+5 = 12
Answer D
The reason it is NOT answer A is because is says "divided by the sum of x and 5". In the order of operations, division happens before addition, so if it did not say "the sum of", then 16 divided by x (16/x) would happen before adding 5 (like in answer A). But is says "the sum of" so you have to do the addition first.
The answer is 22 I think sorry if I’m wrong
Answer: There are <u>4</u> teams in the league
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Add 14 four times: 14+14+14+14 = 56
(2) Multiply 14 four times: 14 x 4 = 56
(3) Combine both of these numbers into the <em>t </em>factor: 14t = 56
(4) Divide both sides by 14 and simplify: (14t / 14) = 56/14 | t = <u>4</u> (simplified)
