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.

589 in base five is
Aleks04 [339]

589 in base five is  4324_{5}.

Given number:

589

converting to 589_{5}.

⇒ 5|589

⇒ 5|117|4

⇒ 5|23|2

⇒ 5|4|3

⇒ 5|4|4

Now we write the last digit from last number to first that is,

= 4324_{5}.

Hence 589 in base five is  4324_{5}.

Which axiom is used to prove that the product of two rational numbers is rational
aliina [53]

Answer:

First, a rational number is defined as the quotient between two integer numbers, such that:

N = a/b

where a and b are integers.

Now, the axiom that we need to use is:

"The integers are closed under the multiplication".

this says that if we have two integers, x and y, their product is also an integer:

if x, y ∈ Z ⇒ x*y ∈ Z

So, if now we have two rational numbers:

a/b and c/d

where a, b, c, and d ∈ Z

then the product of those two can be written as:

(a/b)*(c/d) = (a*c)/(b*d)

And by the previous axiom, we know that a*c is an integer and b*d is also an integer, then:

(a*c)/(b*d)

is the quotient between two integers, then this is a rational number.
