 families who were in need this winter. Trenton collected x
 coats and wanted to split the total number of coats he collected equally among the families.	x−5
Correct or Incorrect and explain

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Incorrect.

If you split x coats equally among 5 families you divide by 5, so each family gets x ÷ 5 (or x/5). Subtraction x − 5 means “take away 5 coats” (for example, the number left after giving one coat to each family), not “split into 5 equal parts.”

Example: if x = 20, correct share is 20 ÷ 5 = 4 per family, but x − 5 = 15, which is not the number each family gets.
