Answer:

D.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the following equations from the information given:

y=x+3 (1)

11x+5y=47 (2)

x is the number of hardback books

y is the number of paperback books

You can replace (1) in (2):

11x+5(x+3)=47

11x+5x+15=47

16x=47-15

16x=32

x=32/16

x=2

Then, you can replace the value of x in (1) to find the value of y:

y=2+3

y=5

According to this, the answer is that Jamal bought 5 paperback books.

Find center and radius<br> (x-3)^2+y^2=8
Flauer [41]

Answer:

<h2>Center: (3, 0)</h2><h2>Radius: 2√2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

(h, k) - center

r - radius

We have the equation:

(x-3)^2+y^2=8\to(x-3)^2+(y-0)^2=(\sqrt8)^2

Therefore

the center: (3,\ 0)

the radius: r=\sqrt8\to r=\sqrt{4\cdot2}\to r=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt2\to r=2\sqrt2
