Answer:

750 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be "x" number of books in the 3rd room

Now,

2nd room has 3 times as 3rd room, so we can write:

Second Room = 3x

Also, there are 1960 MORE books in 1st room than 2nd room, so we can write:

First Room = 3x + 1960

In total there are 7210 books in all three rooms, thus we can write:

First Room + Second Room + Third Room = 7210

Now, replacing the first 2 equations in this, we get:

3x + 1960 + 3x + x = 7210

Solving for x:

3x + 1960 + 3x + x = 7210\\7x=7210-1960\\7x=5250\\x=\frac{5250}{7}\\x=750

"x" is indeed what we are looking for. Thus,

There are 750 books in the third room

If gas is $2.45 and you pay $ 12.00 how many gallons of gas do you get ?
attashe74 [19]
Gas is 2.45 per gallon.  So if we pay $12 we get 12÷2.45 gallons:

12 ÷ 2.45 ≈ 4.90 gallons.

You get roughly 4.90 gallons.

X + 2y = 10
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

(-12,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 10

3x + 4y = 8

(-2)x + (-2)2y = (-2)10

3x    + 4y       = 8

-2x - 4y = -20

3x  + 4y = 8

Add to eliminate:

x = -12

Substitute x to solve y:

x + 2y = 10

(-12) + 2y = 10

-12 + 2y = 10

2y = 10 + 12

2y = 22

y = 22 ÷ 2

y = 11

Check:

x + 2y = 10

(-12) + 2(11) = 10

-12 + 22 = 10

10 = 10
