We can solve this by setting up a couple of equations.

Let's allow x to represent the number of paperbacks Tim owns, and allow y to represent the number of hardcover books he owns.

Using the information in the question, we can write the equations:

1) x = 4y-3
2) x+y=447

Let's rearrange equation 1 so that it is in standard form:

x-4y=-3

And then let's multiply equation 2 by 4 so that we can cancel out y when we solve the system of equations:

4(x+y=447)
4x+4y=1,788

Then we can add the two equations and solve for x:

   1)  x-4y=-3
+ 2) 4x+4y=1,788
------------------------------------
5x=1,785

x=357

So now we now the number of paperback books Tim has is 357. Let's plug this into one of the original equations to solve for the number of hardcover books (y):

357+y=447
y=90

And now we know that Tim owns 90 hardcover books.

Could someone please answer #35 for me
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

408

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = length times width times height

So in this situation we can see that 17 is the length, 8 is the width, and 6 is the height

Knowing this information we can continue

If you think of a regular cube, you can split it diagonally and then it would be 2 triangles

So we can split the width, in halve which would be 4 and then apply the formula 4*6*17 and when you solve that you get 408 Now we have to split that in halve because remember it is a triangle and a triangle is halve of a square. Halve of 408 is 204.

If we repeat that prosses for the other side we will also get 204. Now we add 204+204 to get our answer 408.

Sorry is this was a little confusing but that's the best I can explain it.

Hope that helped and have a great day!
