Answer:

Jay has 8 computer games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of computer games Sherry has

y -----> the number of computer games Jay has

z -----> the number of computer games  Nairan has

we know that

x=5y ----> equation A

z=3y ----> equation B

x=z+16 ----> equation C

Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y

5y=3y+16

5y-3y=16

2y=16

y=8

therefore

Jay has 8 computer games

14=3(x-2)+5<br>How can I solve this equation?​
daser333 [38]
1. distribute the 3 into the variable and number in the equation
to do this..
2. multiply 3 by x (obtain the answer of 3x)
3. multiply 3 by -2 (obtain the answer of -6)
4. you now have the equation of ‘14 = 3x-6+5’
5. subtract 6 from 5 (obtain the answer of -1)
6. you now have the equation of ‘14 = 3x-1’
7. add one to both sides (cancel out the negative one and make the opposite side of the equation 15 instead of 14)
8. you now have the equation of ‘15 = 3x’
9. divide both sides by 3 (15 and x)
FINAL ANSWER
x = 5

Slav-nsk [51]
That would be 40 books on each shelf. Hope that helped :)
Here is the process: 
2,160/ 9 stands = 240 books per stand
240 stands/ 6 shelves each = 40 books on each shelf.

Which is the correct answer?
yuradex [85]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² - 16

x² = y + 16

x = sqrt(y + 16) because x is non-negative.

Hence the inverse function is f^(-1)(x) = sqrt(x + 16). (A)
