The library sells 376 books at its annual used-book fundraiser. They take in a total of $2120. Childrens books cost $4, and adul

ts books cost $7. How many childrens books did they sell?
Let c = number of childrens books sold, and let a = the number of adult books sold.

which system of equations can the librarians use to solve this problem?

A. 4c+7a = 376
c+a = 2120
a= 376-c
B. 7c+4a = 2120
a+c = 376
C. 4a+7c=2120
c+a = 376
D. 4c + 7a = 2120

Answer:

y=-2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another. slope 1/2 perpendicular will be -2/1=-2

y-5=-2(x-(-2))

y-5=-2(x+2)

y-5=-2x-4

y=-2x-4+5

y=-2x+1

Find 3 1/6 + (-4 1/3).

jeka94

Answer:

-1 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

$3\frac{1}{6} + (-4\frac{1}{3} )$

Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions

$\frac{19}{6} + (-\frac{13}{3} )$

Apply the rule: a + (-b) = a - b

$\frac{19}{6} + (-\frac{13}{3} ) = \frac{19}{6} - \frac{13}{3}$

The Least Common Multiplier of 6 and 3 is 6

Adjust the fractions on the LCM

$\frac{19}{6} - \frac{26}{3}$

Apply the Fraction Rule: $\frac{a}{c} -\frac{b}{c} = \frac{a - b}{c}$

$\frac{19 - 26}{6}$

Subtract the numbers

$\frac{-7}{6}$

Apply the Fraction Rule: $\frac{-a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}$

$-\frac{7}{6}$

Convert improper fraction into a mixed number

$-1\frac{1}{6}$

Hope this Helps :)
