Let the number of Sociology books =  y; the number of History books = x

⇒  x + y = 475   (2)
also since the number of history books sold was 83 less than sociology, 
then x = y - 83  (1)   

BY substituting (1) into (2)
⇒  (y - 83) + y = 475
                  2y = 475 + 83
                    y = (558 ÷ 2)
                    y = 279

⇒ x  =  279 - 83
     x  =  196

∴ Number of History books is 196 & number of Sociology books is 279.

Evaluate the following expression. 70
vovikov84 [41]
I am assuming the -3 is an exponent.

y⁻³ and 5⁻³

If the exponent is a negative number, it simply means that the number is a denominator with 1 as the numerator.

y⁻³ is 1/y³
5⁻³ is 1/5³ = 1/125

The number is still raised to its exponential power but its placement is different.

5³ would be 125 or 125/1. It would be the numerator with 1 as the denominator.

How do you solve for x when you have this problem below please explain !!​
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The value of x is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We can clearly see in the diagram that a transversal is intersecting two parallel lines.

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, eight angles are formed.

The angles which are in the same position on same side of each line intersected by the transversal, are called corresponding angles.

<u>Corresponding angles are congruent.</u>

So,

Angle 6x+4° and 100° will be congruent or equal

6x+4 = 100\\6x =100-4\\6x = 96\\\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{96}{6}\\x = 16

Hence,

The value of x is 16
