1. **Problem 4:** Given the equation $$520 \div x = 40n$$, find the value of $$x$$ in terms of $$n$$.
2. **Step 1:** Write the equation clearly:
$$\frac{520}{x} = 40n$$
3. **Step 2:** To isolate $$x$$, multiply both sides by $$x$$:
$$520 = 40n \times x$$
4. **Step 3:** Now divide both sides by $$40n$$ to solve for $$x$$:
$$x = \frac{520}{40n}$$
5. **Step 4:** Simplify the fraction:
$$x = \frac{520}{40n} = \frac{\cancel{40} \times 13}{\cancel{40} n} = \frac{13}{n}$$
6. **Step 5:** So, $$x = \frac{13}{n}$$.
Since the options are constants or expressions without $$n$$, none exactly match unless $$n=1$$, then $$x=13$$.

7. **Problem 5:** Given $$a - 16 = 8b + 6$$, find $$a + 3$$.
8. **Step 1:** Start with the equation:
$$a - 16 = 8b + 6$$
9. **Step 2:** Add 16 to both sides to isolate $$a$$:
$$a = 8b + 6 + 16$$
10. **Step 3:** Simplify the right side:
$$a = 8b + 22$$
11. **Step 4:** Now find $$a + 3$$:
$$a + 3 = (8b + 22) + 3 = 8b + 25$$
12. **Step 5:** So, $$a + 3 = 8b + 25$$.

13. **Problem 6:** Janice weighs $$x$$ pounds. Elaina weighs 23 pounds more than Janice. Find their combined weight in terms of $$x$$.
14. **Step 1:** Elaina's weight is:
$$x + 23$$
15. **Step 2:** Combined weight is Janice's weight plus Elaina's weight:
$$x + (x + 23) = 2x + 23$$
16. **Step 3:** So, the combined weight is $$2x + 23$$ pounds.
