First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the x coordinate is

x=\frac{bx_1+ax_2}{a+b} where x1 and x2 come from the coordinates of J and K, and a = 2 (from the ratio) and b = 5 (from the ratio). Filling in:

x=\frac{5(-6)+2(8)}{2+5}=\frac{-30+16}{7}=\frac{-14}{7}=-2

Your choice is B
