6j + 1/3n = 134...multiply by 3....18j + n = 402
1/3j + n = 31....multiply by 3....j + 3n = 93
the multiplying by 3 is optional...I just did it because it is easier to work with equations when there are no fractions.
18j + n = 402....multiply by -3
j + 3n = 93
----------------
-54j - 3n = - 1206 (result of multiplying by -3)
j + 3n = 93
----------------add
-53j = - 1113
j = -1113/-53
j = 21
j + 3n = 93
21 + 3n = 93
3n = 93 - 21
3n = 72
n = 72/3
n = 24
so Jasons collection (j) consists of 21 books and Nathans collection (n) consists of 24 books
4 1/2 divided by 1/4
9/2 x 4/1 = 36/2
18/1 = 18

Answer:
-240
Step-by-step explanation:
500 - 800 + 60
= -300 + 60 = -240
Step-by-step explanation:
work is shown and pictured
Just subtract 622 feet from 486 feet to get the change in elevation. The result will be negative because your friend's house is at a lower elevation than yours.
Now find the mean change in elevation per mile by dividing (486 ft - 622 ft) by 4 miles:
-136 ft
----------- = -34 ft/mile
4 mi
