If Connie spent $26 on 8 books, The number of hard covers she buy is 5 hard cover.

<h3>Number of hardcover bought</h3>

Let h represent hard cover

Let p represent paperbacks

Formulate an equation

h + p= 8.......(1)

4h + 2p= 26......(2)

Multiply equation (1) by -2

-2h + -2p = -16

<u> 4h  +  2p   = 26</u>

2h  +   0p =10

2h = 10

Divide both side by 2h

h=10/2

h =5 hard covers

Paper backs

P=5-2

P=3 paper backs

Therefore If Connie spent $26 on 8 books, The number of hard covers she buy is 5 hard cover.

Charlie's weight is nine kilograms greater than his brother's. Together they weigh 99 kilograms. Let x represent the weight of t
spayn [35]
C=x+9, c+x=99, c=99-x

So we have two equations equal to c, c=x+9 and c=99-x, since c=c:

x+9=99-x

2x+9=99

2x=90

x=45, and since c=x+9, c=54

So Charlie weighs 54 kg and his brother weighs 45 kg.

Look at the incomplete multiplication problem below.
USPshnik [31]
So I'm assuming the answers have to be the same?? if that's the case, 457×32=15904 so you would subtract 994 from 15904. That means the answer is 14,910. I hope this helped!
