Answer: The number of books bought were 9 paperbacks and 3 hardbacks

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by assigning letters to the unknown variables, hence let the hardback be called h, while the paperback shall be called p.

If Marla bought 12 books at the garage sale, that means she bought

h + p  = 12 ------(1)

Then she paid 0.5 dollars for paperback and 0.75 dollars for hardback and the total spent was 6.75 dollars for all of them, then we can express these as follows;

0.5p + 0.75h = 6.75 ------(2)

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations which are

h + p = 12 ------(1)

0.5p + 0.75h = 6.75 ------(2)

From equation (1), make h the subject of the equation,

h = 12- p

Substitute for h into equation (2)

0.5p + 0.75(12 - p) = 6.75

0.5p + 9 - 0.75p = 6.75

0.5p - 0.75p = 6.75 - 9

-0.25p = -2.25

Divide both sides of the equation by -0.25

p = 9

Now, substitute for p into equation (1)

h + p = 12

h + 9 = 12

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

h = 3

Therefore Marla bought 9 paperbacks and 3 hardbacks

A batch of snack mix made of dried fruit and nuts contain 744G of nuts the ratio of nuts to dried fruit by weight is 12 to 13 ho
Bezzdna [24]

In a bag of snack mix:

n = nuts       d = dried fruit

n = 744g        d = ???g

Ratio Nuts/Dried fruit = 12/13

This basically means that if the mix was divided in 25 parts, 12 parts would be nuts and 13 would be dried fruits

If 744 is 12 parts then 744/12 is 1 part

744/12 = 62

1 part = 62g

there are 13 parts of dried fruit

13 x 62 = 806

744g of nuts + 806g of dreid fruit = 1550g

Answer: A batch of snack mix weigh 1550g, or 1.55kg

hope it helps :)

4x + 2y = 8

When x = -2:     4x + 2y = 8
                      4(-2) + 2y = 8
                          -8 + 2y = 8
                        + 8         + 8
                                 2y = 16

                                   y = 8
                             (x, y) = (-2, 8)

When x = 1:   4x + 2y = 8
                    4(1) + 2y = 8
                        4 + 2y = 8
                      - 4          - 4

When x = 3:    4x + 2y = 8
                     4(3) + 2y = 8
                       12 + 2y = 8
                     - 12        - 12
                               2y = -4
