Answer:
I probably need like a picture or example
Given that Nicholas has a 115 fantasy and science fiction books which is 46% of his collection.
Now we have to find what is total number of books in his collection.
Let number of books in Nicholas collection = x
then number of fantasy and science fiction books = 46% of x = 0.46x
We already know that he has 115 fantasy and science fiction books, so both values will be equal and give equation:
0.46x=115
now we can solve this equation to find the answer.

x= 250
Hence final answer is:
Nicholas has 250 books in his collection.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric formula sequence: 
(where
is the first term of the sequence and
is the common ratio)
To find the common ratio, divide one of the terms by the previous term:

From inspection, 
Therefore, 
solution is (4, - 7 )
given the equations
y = 2x - 15 → (1)
4x + 3y = - 5 → (2)
substitute y = 2x - 15 into (2)
4x + 3(2x - 15) = - 5
4x + 6x - 45 = - 5
10x - 45 = - 5 ( add 45 to both sides )
10x = 40 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x = 4
substitute x = 4 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = (2 × 4 ) - 15 = 8 - 15 = - 7
solution is (4, - 7 )
