Answer:

the price of the novel : $10.25

The price of the math book : $43.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M represent math book and N novel

the price of the math textbook, is $8 more than 3 times the price of the novel.

M + N = $54 and M = 3N + 8

we can write 3N + 8 instead of M

N + 3N + 8 = $54 add the like terms

4N = $46

N = $10.25 this is the price of the novel and the price of the math book is $54 - $10.25 = $43.75

Tems11 [23]
Suppose Alex has 3x stamps, Freddy has 5x stamps. After Freddy gives Alex 10 stamps, Alex has 3x+10 while Freddy has 5x-10
the new ratio is 7 to 9, so we have the equation: (3x+10)/(5x-10)=7/9
9(3x+10)=7(5x-10)
27x+90=35x-70
160=8x
x=20
So Alex has 3*20=60 stamps while Freddy has 5*20=100. Together they have 160
