4810/370=13
final answer

anonymous · Answer

to write this as an algebraic expression. let x = number of book cases.
so 370 * the number of bookcases ordered = 4810, if x is number of book cases then the equation could be written as 370x = 4810. now just solve the equation by dividing 370 from both sides to isolate the variable x.
