Assuming Nicole = x, Nancy = y

x + y = 18 \\ y = x + 3

Substitute that into
x + x + 3 = 18 \\ 2x = 15 \\ x = 7.5

Answer : Nicole read 7.5 books.

Hope this helps. - M

Let the number of books that Nicole read be x.
⇒ Nicole = x

Nancy read 3 more than Nicole
⇒ Nancy = x + 3             

They read a total of 18 books.
⇒ x + ( x+ 3) = 18

<u>Solve for x:</u>
x + ( x + 3) = 18

Remove bracket:
x + x + 3 = 18

Combine like terms:
2x + 3 = 18

Subtract 3 from both sides:
2x = 15

Divide both sides by 2:
x = 7.5

<u>Find the number of books each read:</u>
Nicole = x = 7.5 books
Nancy = x + 3 = 7.5 + 3 = 10.5 books

Answer: Nicole read 7.5 books.

Plzzzz help me with one and two I don’t understand

What this question simply asks about is you write the numbers it gave you in only one digit by 10 to the power of n. Where n represents the number of shifts of the decimal point.
And to get this number to be one digit, then you have to approximate.
To approximate; you should always consider that less than 5 counts zero and 5 or more counts+1.
Example:
5.3 is approximately 5
5.5 is approx. 6
5.9 is also approx. 6
and so on.
So the final answers are;
1) 4*10^13
2) 5*10^-11
Please note that 10^positive integer will cause the decimal point to move to the right which means a number greater than 1, usually, while 10^negative integer means number smaller than 1, usually.
Hope this helps.
