Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make the number we're finding to be a. So, it says that it will be divided by 4 and then added by 12 if we want this in algebraic expression it will be \frac{a}{4} +12\\. It's also telling us that that expression is the same thing as our number divided by 3 and subtracted by 5. If we want an expression out of it it well be \frac{a}{3} -5\\. Since they are the same, we have the equation below.

\frac{a}{4} +12 = \frac{a}{3} -5\\

All we have to do now is to find a.

\frac{a}{4} +12 = \frac{a}{3} -5 \\ \frac{a +48}{4} = \frac{a -15}{3} \\ (3)(a +48) = (a - 15)(4) \\ 3a +144 = 4a -60 \\ (60 -3a) + 3a +144 = 4a -60 +(60 -3a) \\ a = 204

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Our number must be 204. I think

What is the interval notation for the compound inequality? x is less than or equal to -4 or x is greater than or equal to 5?
Tems11 [23]

x is less than or equal to -4 or x is greater than or equal to 5

x <= -4 or x>= 5

There is no intersection of both inequalities when we graph it in number line So, we write the interval notation separately for each inequality

for x<=-4 , x starts at -4  and goes to -infinity because we have less than symbol. Also we have = sign so we use square brackets

Interval notation is (-∞ , -4]

for x>= 5 , x starts at 5  and goes to infinity because we have greater than symbol. Also we have = sign so we use square bracket at 5

Interval notation is [5 , ∞)

Now combine both notation by a 'U' symbol Union

(-∞ , -4] U [5 , ∞)
