Step-by-step explanation:
You can not buy more than 5 books because you'd have a negative amount of money. So 0,1,2,3,4,5 are the possible values for b.
Answer:
u = (-21)/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for u:
u + 1/4 = (-4)/5
Put each term in u + 1/4 over the common denominator 4: u + 1/4 = (4 u)/4 + 1/4:
(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = -4/5
(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = (4 u + 1)/4:
1/4 (4 u + 1) = -4/5
Multiply both sides of (4 u + 1)/4 = (-4)/5 by 4:
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4)/5×4
4×(-4)/5 = (4 (-4))/5:
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4×4)/5
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = 4/4×(4 u + 1) = 4 u + 1:
4 u + 1 = (-4×4)/5
4 (-4) = -16:
4 u + 1 = (-16)/5
Subtract 1 from both sides:
4 u + (1 - 1) = (-16)/5 - 1
1 - 1 = 0:
4 u = (-16)/5 - 1
Put (-16)/5 - 1 over the common denominator 5. (-16)/5 - 1 = (-16)/5 - 5/5:
4 u = (-16)/5 - 5/5
-16/5 - 5/5 = (-16 - 5)/5:
4 u = (-16 - 5)/5
-16 - 5 = -21:
4 u = (-21)/5
Divide both sides by 4:
u = ((-21)/4)/5
5×4 = 20:
Answer: u = (-21)/20
