Answer:

The Local Library sold <u>31</u> hardcover books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of paper back books be 'x'.

Let number of hardcover books be 'y'.

Given:

Total number of books sold = 89

Now Total number of books sold is equal to sum of number of paper back books and number of hardcover books.

framing in equation form we get;

x+y=89 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Now Given:

Cost of each paper back books = $2

Cost of each hardcover books = $5

Total Amount raised by library = $271

Now We know that Total Amount raised by library is equal to Cost of each paper back books multiplied by number of paper back books plus Cost of each hardcover books multiplied number of hardcover books.

framing in equation form we get;

2x+5y=271 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Multiplying equation 1 by 2 we get;

2(x+y)=89\times2\\\\2x+2y = 178 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2 we get;

(2x+5y)-(2x+2y)=271-178\\\\2x+5y-2x-2y=93\\\\3y = 93\\\\y=\frac{93}{3}=31

Substituting the value of y in equation 1 we get;

x+y =89\\\\x+31=89\\\\x =89-31 = 58

Hence The Local Library sold 58 paper back books and <u>31</u> hardcover books.

a friend is having trouble with exponents and asks you to review some worked probelems look over the problems and correct any mi
Stella [2.4K]

We have the following expression:

2x^2y\cdot3x^5y^2

By combining similar terms, we get

2\cdot3\cdot x^2\cdot x^5\cdot y\cdot y^2

now, 2 times 3 is 6 and to add exponents, both the exponents and variables should be alike:

x^2\cdot x^5=x^{2+5}=x^7

Similarly,

y\cdot y^2=y^{1+2}=y^3

Therefore, the answer is

6x^7y^3

Given f(x)=x-7 and h(x)=2x+3 what is the rule for h(f(x))
Paul [167]

Answer:

h(f(x)) = 2x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate h(f(x)) substitute x = f(x) into h(x)

h(x - 7)

= 2(x - 7) + 3

= 2x - 14 + 3

= 2x - 11
