313x=14588 where x equals the average number of books on each shelf

x=46 to 47

Then, you can do 313+50 (46 or 47)=x

363(46)=x

16698=x

363(47)=x

17061=x

They could hold between 16698 books and 17061 books.

Hope you followed my math. I didn’t choose either 46 or 47 to be the exact number because some classes round differently. My class would call it 47, but not sure about yours. I hope I helped!

2) Since you already know that 46 or 47 books can be on 1 shelf then multiply 46 books x 50 shelves.

46 x 50 = 2300 or 47 x 50 = 2350…Or if you need to be exact with your estimation, you can multiply 46.6 and 50 whiche equals 2330.

47 books per shelf x 50 shelves = number of new books library will be able to hold = 2350

X=47 , 50X=number of other books

the equation is pretty straight forward, let n = new shelves and b = number of books per shelf, the t (total) is equal to n times b or

t = n * b, you did all of the work, but just didn’t set up the variables and give them titles.

hope this helps!

2) 50*46.6=2330 so 2330 more books

i’m not sure what the equation is
