X = 7.............................
1. 4(n+3)=16, n+3=4, n=1
2. m/4+3=24, m/4=21, m=84
1. three added to a number n implies n+3, 4 times that sum is 4 (n+3), to solve divide both sides by 4 then subtract three from both sides.
2. a number divided by 4 means n/4 adding it to three n/4+3, to solve subtract 3 from both sides then multiply both sides by 4
Check if you can write an equation relating the term number to the actual value
n1=3
n2=10 = 3+7
n3= 17 = n2+7 = n1+7+7 = n1 +2*7
n4= 24 = n1+3*7
so you will notice a pattern
for the x-th term
n_x =3+(x-1)*7
the 50th term would be n_50 = 3+(50-1) * 7
<span>An algebraic expression is an expression constructed from a number of constants and variables utilizing algebraic operations. These algebraic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation. A constant is constant, so its value is unchanged. A variable changes based on the value provided. In the provided example, 2x-1, there are two constants, "2" and "1", and one variable "x." The algebraic operations utilized are multiplication and subtraction. In order to evaluate the value of the algebraic expression, the given value for the variable must be substituted for the variable x, and then the algebraic operations executed to obtain the answer.
For instance, if you were told that the value of x in this case was 2, then you would substitute the value 2 for x and perform the described operations. Remember to follow the order of operations when evaluating an algebraic expression!
2x-1 for x=2
2(2) - 1
4 - 1
3 is the answer.
Remember, even though the multiplication operation is not explicitly stated, it is implied that a constant attached to a variable (termed a coefficient) is multiplied with the value of the variable.</span>
