Answer:
She spent 17 books
Equation: 45+6 = 51 and 51/3 = 17 books
Let's write 2 equations from the two statements given.
<em>Sarah spent 10 dollars on both oranges and apples</em>
<em />
Let the price of oranges be "x" and price of apples be "y", thus we can write:

Oranges cost 3 less than apples, thus we can say:

We can substitute this into the first equation and solve for y:

Thus, let's solve for x now,

We want the price of oranges (x), thus,
<em>Price of Oranges = $3.50</em>
Seven eighth, 7 over 8, 7/8, 0.875,
Answer:
y = x - 3; 9 diagonals
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the equation: y = x - 3
Plug in 12: y = 12 -3
Solve: y = 9
9 diagonals
