(4/(x+4-2))/x+1
4/(x+2)=x/4+1/2
(x/4+1/2)/x+1
x=-2/5
He donated 18 books per month. you first finds the difference of the books then do use the number of books by the number of months (in this case it was 5 months)
Multiple (5x+y= 28) by 6 giving you 30x +6y =168 and then you would add the two equations together, giving you 38x = 152, divide both sides by 38, giving you 4. after this, you would sub x=4 into one of the equations (i’m using the 5x+ y =28) which would give me 20 + y = 28, subtract 20 by both sides, giving you y= 8. so your answer is (4,8)
The answer is 11 :) hope this helps
