ANSWER
B. 10
EXPLANATION
We need to find the value of x first.
It was given that the perimeter of triangle XYZ is 24.
This means that:
XY+YZ+XZ=24
we substitute the expression in terms of x to get;
This implies that
Divide both sides by 4 to get;
|WY|=|ZX|=13-3=10
Answer:
The first option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
how do we multiply x - 9 by something? we put it in brackets
(x - 9) × (-3) = 51
that can be written like this
(x - 9)(-3) - 51
Since there are 24 fiction books and 52 books in total, you can start with subtracting them both to find the amount of non-fiction books. 52-24=28, so 28 non-fiction books are currently checked out. Now for the fun part. There are two ways I know how to do this, so let's start. One way is that you can put a ':' between the two numbers. For example, since we are trying to find fiction books to non-fiction, we would say 24:28. The first number will represent the first thing they ask for (fiction), and the second number will represent the second thing they ask for (non-fiction). Another way to do this is by putting the numbers as a fraction. For example, you could put 24/28. It will still mean the same thing, and it will not change the outcome. I hope this helps! :)
