Answer:

Crafts books: 7

Cookbooks: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the crafts book

Let y be the cookbooks

Solve for x:

  1. Plug x and y in: x + y = 20
  2. Re-write: y = x + 6
  3. Plug in x + 6 instead of y: x + x + 6 = 20
  4. Combine like terms: 2x + 6 = 20
  5. Subtract 6 from each side, so it now looks like this: 2x = 14
  6. Divide each side by 2 to cancel out the 2 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 7

Solve for y:

  1. Re-use an equation from above: y = x + 6
  2. Plug in the value of x: y = 7 + 6
  3. 7 + 6 = 13
  4. So, y = 13

I hope this helps!

What is the value of the expression <br> 3<br> 6 - (- 11.5)?<br> 4
Digiron [165]

Answer: 31 hope this helped

Step-by-step explanation: I'm assuming your problem looks like this: 4+5*6-3 =? To solve this problem you need to use the order of operations. PEMDAS which stands for Parentheses, exponents, multiply and divide, and lastly add and subtract. You must multiply and divide before you add and subtract so you must do 5*6 first. You now get 4+30-3. Now all you have left is addition and subtraction so you now just go from right to left and do one at a time. So 4+30 = 34 , 34-3=31. Therefore your answer should be 31. Hope that helped!

Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment.

If both cyclists travel for the same time and speed, they will have travelled the same distance.  Since one is headed north and the other east, we can see that the distance between them in one hour is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  Each leg has distance x.  We can say x^2 + x^2 = (3\sqrt{2})^2

2x^2 =1 8

x^2 = 9

x = 3

They both rode 3 miles.

Solve x2 – 8x = 3 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

x = 4 ± \sqrt{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 8x = 3

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 3 + 16

(x - 4)² = 19 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{19} ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± \sqrt{19}
