The way this question is worded is quite confusing. If all you have given is ‘58 books to 65 books’, maybe you mean a range? In that case the range would be 7. Or you could be talking about how many books it would take for 58 to get to 65. In this case, it would also be 7.
Answer:
Florida has 67 counties, Georgia has 159.

You seem to have
.. g(x) = {(2x^2 -4x -16)/(x -4) . . . x ≠ 4
.. .. .. .. ..{ kx -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . x=4
The first expression can be simplified to
.. (2x^2 -4x -16)/(x -4) = 2(x +2)(x -4)/(x -4) = 2(x +2) . . . . x ≠ 4
At x=4, this simplified version has the value
.. 2(4 +2) = 12
To make the alternate definition of g(x) have that same value at x=4, we must have
.. k*4 -16 = 12
.. 4k = 28
,, k = 7
The constant k must be 7 for the function to be continuous at x=4.
-8a/8 = 22
8 divided by 22 is 2.75
a = -2.75
