Let x be the cost of each book.

So, the cost of 4 books is 4x.

For the purchase of 4 books, he got a discount of $20.

So, the amount he paid for the first four books = 4x - 20.

Now, the cost of 5 books is 5x.

For the purchase of 5 books, he got another discount of $5.

So, the amount he paid for the five books = 5x - 5.

Total money spent = $87.

Therefore, (4x - 20) + (5x - 5) = 87

4x + 5x - 20 - 5 = 87

9x - 25 = 87

9x = 87 + 25

9x = 112

Divide both sides by 9.

x = 12.4

Hence, the cost of each book = $12.4.

What is the best approximation for the area of a circle with a diameter of 13 meters?
Illusion [34]
First, find the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is half the diameter. r=13/2=6.5 

Second, use the equation A=pi * r^2 to find the area of the circle. 
A=(3.14) * (6.5^2) = 132.665m^2 

so the answer is 132.7 m^2.

Based on the picture..Find the area in terms of xFind the perimeter in terms of x
Vlad1618 [11]

The area of a rectangle is given by the product of its dimensions.

If this rectangle has a length of 2x + 7 and a width of x + 4, its area is:

\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=\text{length}\cdot\text{width} \\ \text{Area}=(2x+7)(x+4)_{} \\ \text{Area}=2x^2+8x+7x+28 \\ \text{Area}=2x^2+15x+28 \end{gathered}

The perimeter is the sum of all side lengths, so we have:

\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter}=(2x+7)+(x+4)+(2x+7)+(x+4) \\ \text{Perimeter}=6x+22 \end{gathered}
