Let's set up and solve the question step by step.
---
1. Identify the Initial Number of Computers:
We start with an initial number of computers. Let’s denote this quantity as [tex]\( C_0 \)[/tex].
[tex]\( C_0 = 9 \)[/tex]
2. Understand the Addition Pattern:
Each day, a specific number of computers are added. Let’s denote the number of computers added each day as [tex]\( A \)[/tex].
[tex]\( A = 5 \)[/tex]
3. Identify the Number of Days Over Which Computers are Added:
The number of days over which computers are added should be identified. Let’s denote this number as [tex]\( D \)[/tex].
[tex]\( D = 4 \)[/tex] (Monday through Thursday)
4. Compute the Total Number of Newly Added Computers:
The total number of computers added over the [tex]\( D \)[/tex] days can be calculated by:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Added Computers} = A \times D \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Added Computers} = 5 \times 4 = 20 \][/tex]
5. Calculate the Total Number of Computers After Addition:
Finally, to find the total number of computers after all the additions, we add the total number of added computers to the initial number of computers:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Computers} = C_0 + \text{Total Added Computers} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Computers} = 9 + 20 = 29 \][/tex]

Summary of Results:
- Number of newly added computers: 20
- Total number of computers after addition: 29
