Elliot has a total of 26 books. He has 12 more fiction books than nonfiction books. Let x represent the number of fiction books

and y represent the number of nonfiction books. This system of equations models the number of books. x + y = 26 x – y = 12 Elliot added the two equations and the result was 2x = 38. Solve the equation. How many fiction books does Elliot have? 15 ⇒ 19 fiction books How many nonfiction books does Elliot have?

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!

Answer:

  • 40 ft
  • t = 1 second

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator answers these questions easily.

The ball achieves a maximum height of 40 ft, 1 second after it is thrown.

__

The equation is usefully put into vertex form, as the vertex is the answer to the questions asked.

  h(t) = -16(t^2 -2t) +24

  h(t) = -16(t^2 -2t +1) +24 +16 . . . . . . complete the square

  h(t) = -16(t -1)^2 +40 . . . . . . . . . vertex form

Compare this to the vertex form:

  f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . vertex (h, k); vertical stretch factor 'a'

We see the vertex of our height equation is ...

  (h, k) = (1, 40)

The ball reaches a maximum height of 40 feet at t = 1 second after it is thrown.

nadezda [96]

Answer: 5p + 3q

Explantation: 5 pineapples is going to be multiplied by p, the cost of 1. And 3 mangoes are going to be multiplied by q, the cost of 1. And adding the two totals together gives you the total cost.
