Answer:
4(2-2c)
Step-by-step explanation:
because you switch it around
Answer:
The solution is (4, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Linear combination method to solve:

Since "e" have the same coefficient in both equation with opposite operator; we will add.

Divide both side by coefficient of d which is 3

Since d = 4; put 'd' into any of the equation to get 'e'

Therefore, the solution is (4, 0)
Since the exponent is on the outside of the paranthesis, you'd have to multiply it by everything on the inside: a^m x b^m
6j + 1/3n = 134...multiply by 3....18j + n = 402
1/3j + n = 31....multiply by 3....j + 3n = 93
the multiplying by 3 is optional...I just did it because it is easier to work with equations when there are no fractions.
18j + n = 402....multiply by -3
j + 3n = 93
----------------
-54j - 3n = - 1206 (result of multiplying by -3)
j + 3n = 93
----------------add
-53j = - 1113
j = -1113/-53
j = 21
j + 3n = 93
21 + 3n = 93
3n = 93 - 21
3n = 72
n = 72/3
n = 24
so Jasons collection (j) consists of 21 books and Nathans collection (n) consists of 24 books
