Let the number of weeks be x
38x + 209 = 1197
Subtract 209 on both sides
38x = 1197
Divide 38 on both sides
x = 31.5 weeks

Four more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 9

barxatty [35]

The algebraic expression of "Four more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 9" is $\frac{x}{3}+4=9$

The value of x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to express "Four more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 9" as algebraic expression.

Let the number = x

Solving:

quotient of a number and 3: $\frac{x}{3}$

Four more than the quotient of a number and 3: $\frac{x}{3}+4$

Four more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 9: $\frac{x}{3}+4=9$

Now, finding value of x:

$\frac{x}{3}+4=9\\Adding\,\,-4\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\\frac{x}{3}+4-4=9-4\\\frac{x}{3}=5\\Multiply\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,3:\\x=5*3\\x=15$

So, value of x = 15

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

limit is defined when the limit from both side are defined and equal to f

$x-> -10^-$ , limit f(x)=-4-(-10)=6

f(-10)=6

$x-> -10^+$ , limit f(x)=(-10)+16=6

Then

$x->-10$ , limit f(x)=6
