Its simply a OPAMP adder
Here we can use equation of this circuit to calculate Vout as

vout=-[Rf/R1(V1)+Rf/R2(V2)]
=-[16/8(-5)+16/4(-5)]
=-[-10-20]=30v.

Hence we can calculate feedback current If,

If=Vout/Rf
=(30/16KOHM) Ampere
=1.875 mA.

From KCL, the current in the feedback resistor is equal to the sum of the currents flowing through the two input branches [Since, the inverting terminal is at a virtual ground].

So, current through feedback resistor = 5/8 + 5/4 = 1.875 mA.
