<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Jessica sells = 240 books,

Josh sells = 16 books.

<h3>Given:-</h3>

The price of one book is = $15

Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.

In total, they have sold 256 books.

<h3>Solution:-</h3>

We can easily find the answer using variables.

Let,

Josh sold a total of x books whereas Jessica sold a total number of 15x books.

together they sold 16x books.

So we can form the equation

16x= 256

by solving this equation we will get x=16

So, Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 16×15=240 books in total.

Evaluate the expression.<br> 7.4+6 - 12:4<br><br><br> Plz help me
juin [17]

Answer:

7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4 = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

* To solve this problem lets revise the order of operations in

  mathematics

- The operations are:

# Addition

# Subtraction

# Multiplication

# Division

# Exponentiation

# Grouping ⇒ Parenthesis or brackets

- The order of these operations is:

# Parenthesis

# Exponents

# Multiplication and Division which comes first from left to right

# Addition and Subtraction which comes first from left to right

- There is a word made from the first letter of each operation

  PEMDAS to remember the order of operations

* Lets solve the problem

∵ 7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4

∵ The (.) means multiply the numbers

∵ The symbol (:) means divided the numbers

∴ At first multiply 7 by 4 and divide 12 by 4

∴ (7 × 4) + 6 - (12 ÷ 4)

∴ 28 + 6 - 3

∵ Addition comes before subtraction from the left

∴ (28 + 6) - 3

∴ 34 - 3 = 31

∴ 7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4 = 31

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

-5x + 0y = -11

The y terms are eliminated

Step-by-step explanation:

- 4x – 2y = -2

X - 2y = 9

We want to subtract the second equation from the first

Distribute a minus sign to all the terms in the second equation

- 4x – 2y = -2  

X - 2y = 9

= (-5x + 0y = -11)

ANSWER
x= 46

EXPLANATION
To solve this problem you need to remember that a straight line is 180°. This figure is basically a straight line split in two, so 134°+x=180°. You can also subtract 134 from 180 to get 46.
