Answer:

The initial number of books he had=50

The number of books he has after adding new books=56

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Derive formula for percentage increase

The formula for calculating the percentage increase is;

p={(f-i)/i}×100

where;

p=the percentage increase

f=the final number of books he had

i=the initial number of he had

In our case;

p=12%

(f-i)=defines the increase in the number of books=6

i=unknown

Substitute and solve for i;

12%=6/i

(12/100)=6/i

(12/100)×i=6

i=6×100/12

i=50

The initial number of books he had=50

The number of books he has after adding new books=50+6=56

Hi my lil bunny!

❧⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯☙

A) Let's solve for x. $-3x-7y=-66$

Step 1: Add 7y to both sides.

$-3x - 7y + 7y = -66 + 7y \\-3x = 7y - 66$

Step 2: Divide both sides by -3.

$\frac{-3x }{-3} = \frac{7y - 66}{-3}$

$x = \frac{-7}{3}y + 22$

Answer : $\frac{-7}{3}y + 22$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

B) Let's solve for x. $-10x-7y=-24$

Step 1: Add 7y to both sides.

$-10x - 7y + 7y = -24 + 7y \\-10x = 7y - 24$

Step 2: Divide both sides by -10.

$\frac{-10x}{-10} = \frac{7y - 24}{-10}$

$x = \frac{-7}{10}y + \frac{12}{5}$

Answer : $\frac{-7}{10}y + \frac{12}{5}$

Polynomials Multiply 5x(x2 - 4x + 2)

salantis [7]

Answer:

Assuming "x2" is x squared:

5x(x2-4x+2)

(5x(x2)+5x(-4x)+5x(2))

5x^3-20x+10x

For these polynomial multiplication problems, just distribute the number outside the parentheses.
