Answer:

16 books

Step-by-step explanation:

if Sandra read 5 books and Deacon read 6 and Breanna read 7 and they all one same book, then that means sandra read 4 different books then Deacon and Breanna. Deacon read 5 different books then Sandra and Breanna. Breanna read 6 different books then Deacon and Sandra.

So Sandras 4 books plus Deacons 5 books plus Breannas 6 books equals up to 15 but, now you need to add the one book they all read which makes the answer 16.

Solve for n. 11(n – 1) + 35 = 3n n = –6 n = –3 n = 3 n = 6

RSB [31]

Solve for n
Simply both sides 11(n-1)+35=3n
Distribute (11)(n) + (11)(-1) + 35 = 3n
11n+-11+35=3n
Combine like terms (11n)+(-11+35)=3n
11n + 24 =3n
Subtract 3n from both sides
11n+24-3n=3n-3n
8n + 24 = 0
Subtract 24 from both sides
8n+24-24=0-24
8n = -24
Divide both sides by 8
8n = -24
8 8
n = -3

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=2,\ -2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If the trapezoid EFGH is isosceles, then the angles}\ HEF\ \text{and}\ GFE\\\\\text{are congruent. Therefore}\ m\angle HEF=m\angle GFE.\\\\\text{We have the equation}\\\\4x^2+16=5x^2+12\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\\\4x^2=5x^2-4\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x^2\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-x^2=-4\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\x^2=4\to x=\pm\sqrt4\\\\x=-2\ or\ x=2$
