Answer:

12 fiction books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent number of non-fiction books.

We have been given that in the library at Lenape elementary school, there are 3/8 as many fiction books as there are nonfiction books. So number of fiction books would be \frac{3}{8}x.

We are also told that there are 44 books in school library. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+\frac{3}{8}x=44

Let us solve for x.

\frac{8x}{8}+\frac{3}{8}x=44

\frac{8x+3x}{8}=44

\frac{11x}{8}=44

\frac{11x}{8}\cdot \frac{8}{11}=44\cdot\frac{8}{11}

x=4\cdot 8

x=32

Therefore, there are 32 non fiction books in the library.

Number of fiction books would be \frac{3}{8}x\Rightarrow \frac{3}{8}*32=3*4=12

Therefore, there are 12 fiction books in the library.

X − y = 12<br> x + 2y = 21
olga55 [171]

Answer: x=15, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting the two equations, we get -3y=-9, meaning y=3.

Substituting this into the first equation, we get that x-3=12, and thus, x=15.

(PLEASE HELP) The table below - does it represent an exponential function?
Aliun [14]
Short answer: I don't know, but that doesn't mean I can't give you something that you can decide for yourself.
y = 4*2^(2n - 2) is the pattern.
Go for broke. Try n = 4. You should get 256. Let's try it.
y = 4 * 2^(2*4 - 2)
y = 4 * 2^(8 - 2)
y = 4 * 2^6
y = 4 * 64
y = 256 yup it works.

The other end is just as important. Suppose n = 1
Then y = 4 * 2^(2*1 - 2) = 4 * 2^0 = 4*1 = 4 Both work.

If this formula is correct, we can abbreviate it to make your task easier.
y = 4 * 2^(2n - 2)
y = 2^2 * 2^(2n - 2)
y = 2^(2n - 2 + 2)
y = 2^(2n) Now try the two end points again.

n = 4
y = 2^(2*4)
y  =  2^8
y = 256

n = 1
y = 2^(2*1)
y = 2^2
y = 4 which again checks.

so y = 2^(2n) I think is an exponential function.
Sorry my explanation is so long.
