Answer:

[tex]\boxed{ \textsf{North Entrance} > \textsf{South Entrance}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the number of spectators using the North Entrance [tex](5(x+4))[/tex] and the South Entrance [tex](5x+4)[/tex], we can evaluate the expressions for different values of [tex]x[/tex] and compare the results.

Let's substitute [tex]x = 0[/tex] into both expressions:

For the North Entrance:

[tex] 5(0+4) = 5 \times 4 = 20 [/tex]

For the South Entrance:

[tex] 5 \times 0 + 4 = 4 [/tex]

Comparing the results, we can see that [tex]20 > 4[/tex].

So, for [tex]x = 0[/tex], the number of spectators entering through the North Entrance is greater than the number entering through the South Entrance.

Therefore, the comparison is:

[tex]\boxed{ \textsf{North Entrance} > \textsf{South Entrance}}[/tex]
