I got 4.6,,, in sorry if this is incorrect, I used cross multiplication
Answer:
Distributive property means to multiply the number outside the parentheses to the numbers & variables inside the parentheses.
-5(-6y+4x-5)
= 30y-20x+25
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
