Luckily for us, this problem solved the bulk of its own question!


Now, all we have to do is solve for "x", or the amount of fiction books and plug its value back into the original equation to find the value of "y", or the amount of nonfiction books.


2x = 38

x = 19

There are 19 fiction books.

x + y = 26

19 + y = 26

y = 7

There are 7 nonfiction books.

Hope this helps!

A savings account earns 6% simple interest per year. The principal is $800. What is the balance after 18 months?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest = Principle * Rate * Time / 100

= ( 800 * 6 * 18/12 ) / 100

= $ 72

The balance after 18 months = principle + interest

= 800 + 72

1044 fans join a club in the first month after the first month nine new members are allowed to join each month how many members
laiz [17]

Answer:

Total number of members in month 34 is 1341 members.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

Number of fans join a club in first month = 1044

And after the first month nine new members are allowed to join each month.

After first month , Let the number of club members in x months will be given as:

Number of members = 1044 + 9x

We need to find number of members in month 34.

So for first month we already had 1044 members, that mean for remaining 33 months we need to calculate members.

i.e total number of members in month 34 = 1044 + (33×9 )     , {Since x = 33 here}  

OR total number of members in month 34 = 1044 + 297  = 1341 members

Which expression represents the inverse of the function f(x)=4x
Anton [14]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x}{4\\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = \frac{y}{4}

Change y back into terms of x

f^{-1} (x) = \frac{x}{4\\}
