Answer

42/50 if you don"t need to simplify 84/100

explain

This is because you know it is 84/100 but if you have to simplify you would divide each number by 2

Let number of books by astrid's = x

Out of x , 84% are fiction.

So, Number of non fictional books = x - $\frac{84x}{100}$

= $\frac{100x- 84 x}{100} = \frac{16x}{100}$

→Ratio of number of books to fictional books

$=\frac{x}{\frac{84x}{100}}\\ = \frac{100}{84}\\= \frac{25}{21}$ ⇒[Dividing numerator and denominator by 4.]

→Out of 25 books by astrid 21 are fictional.

→ Number of fictional books by astrid = $\frac{21}{25}$

The algebra tiles represent the perfect square trinomial x2 10x c. what is the value of c? c =

devlian [24]

The value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20

<h3>What are perfect squares trinomials?</h3>

They are those expressions which are found by squaring binomial expressions.

Since the given trinomials are with degree 2, thus, if they are perfect square, the binomial which was used to make them must be linear.

Let the binomial term was ax + b(a linear expression is always writable in this form where a and b are constants and m is a variable), then we will obtain:

$(ax + b)^2 = a^2x^2 + b^2 + 2abx$
