To solve this, we’ll first need to set it as a system of equations.

First, let’s let
x = No. of $32 books purchased.
y = No. of $44 books purchased.

We know that 54 books were sold in total and they the total cost of the books sold were 1968. Using this information we can come up with two equations.

x + y = 54
32x + 44y = 1968

We will solve this system by the substitution method. Solve the first equation for y.

y = -x + 54

Substitute this for y in your second equation.

32x + 44(-x + 54) = 1968

Distribute and add like terms.

-12x + 2376 = 1968

Solve for x.

x = 34.

Your answer should be: 34 $32 books were purchased.

Cara evaluated the expression below.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Cara  multiplied only 4 and 7 together and did not multiply 4 and 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us evaluate the given expression step by step,

\frac{4(7-13)}{3} +(-4)^{2} -2(6-2)\\

We can evaluate this expression in two ways; either by subtracting -13 from 7 and then multiply by 4 or by multiplying 4 to 7  and -13.

\frac{28-52}{3} +16-2(4)

\frac{-24}{3} +16-8

-8+16-8=-16+16=0

Now let us see where Cara made an error. We can see Cara just multiplied only 4 and 7 together and did not multiply 4 to 13.

Therefore, Cara made error in her first step.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

-0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

f^-1(1024)=(2*1024-2/5)^-1= 0.000488

f(0.000488)=2*0.000488-2/5= -0.399

Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation 2x +6y = 0
scoray [572]
<span>A relationship between two variables in which one is a constant multiple of the other. The constant here is also called the constant of variation. In order to obtain this value, we manipulate the equation by isolating the variables. We do as follows:

</span><span>2x +6y = 0
y = -x/3

Therefore, the constant of variation is -1/3. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
