Answer:

The outward current must be 5.0 A

Step-by-step explanation:

-A junction is a point where at least three circuit paths meet.

-According to Kirchhoff's Junction Rule & the Law of Charge Conservation:

-The outward current must always equal the inward current because charge is conserved and current measures the rate at which charges are flowing.
