ANSWER

There are 16 fiction books

EXPLANATION

Let the number of nonfiction books be

n

Then the number of fiction books is

f=\frac{2n}{5}

If there are 56 books in the library, then

n + f= 56

This implies that,

n + \frac{2n}{5} = 56

Multiply through by 5 to get,

5n + 2n = 280

7n= 280

Divide through by 7 to get,

n = \frac{280}{7}

n= 40

Therefore the number of fiction books

f=\frac{2\times40}{5}=16

Or

f=56 - 40 = 16

A number is greater than 8. The same number is less than 10. The inequalities x &gt; 8 and x &lt; 10 represent the situation.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

There are infinite solutions because there is always another number between any two numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick any number (including decimal) add an extra decimal after the smallest one and then you have a number between them. E.g.

1.234 and 2.987

1.2341, 1.2342, 1.2343, ... are all between them

Which of the following best describes the solution to the system of equations below?
liraira [26]

For this case we have the following system of equations:

6x + 3y = 6\\6x + 3y = 14

We multiply the first equation by -1:

-6x-3y = -6

We have the following equivalent system:

-6x-3y = -6\\6x + 3y = 14

We add the equations:

-6x + 6x-3y + 3y = -6 + 14\\0 = 8

Equality is not fulfilled, so the system of equations has no solution.

Answer:

Option C

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories
ziro4ka [17]

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.

Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories)  means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct
