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.

Solve the equation.

Answer:

A. No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 4(2 x + 9) = 4(2 x +6)

We divide through by 4 to get:

2 x + 9 = 2 x +6

We now group similar terms to obtain:

2x - 2x = 6 - 9

0 =  - 3

This final statement is false.

Therefore the given equation has no solution.

How you write 980,000 in scientific notation?
MatroZZZ [7]

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

Answer: 9.8 × 10 (4 squared)
