Eli read four more biographies than historical fiction book during the semester. He also read two fewer mysteries than historica

9966 [12]

Answer: Eli read 3 historical fiction books , 7 biographies and 1 mystery book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of historical fiction books Eli read.

Then, Number of biographies he read = x+4

Number of mysteries he read = x-2

If he read a total of eleven books during the semester , then we have the following equation :

$x+x+4+x-2=11$

$\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x+2=11$

$\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x=9$ (Subtract 2 from both sides )

$x=3$ (Divide both sides by 3)

Therefore , Number of historical fiction books Eli read = 3

Number of biographies he read = 3+4=7

Number of mysteries he read =3-2=1

Hence, Eli read 3 historical fiction books , 7 biographies and 1 mystery book.
