Ryan is cleaning out his room. His sister gives him 4 boxes of books to put with the 3 books he already had. When he finishes cleaning he discovers he now has 35 books on his shelves. How many books were in each box? Write an algebraic expression to represent this problem then solve.

8 books were in each box

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Assume X is the Number of Books In Each Box.

Algebraic Expression,

4X + 3 = 35

4X = 35 - 3

4X = 32  ⇔  X=8 books in Each Box.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
