Answer:

60 maths books

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the following be:</u>

  • Maths books = m
  • Science books = s
  • History books = h

<u>And we have ratios and sum:</u>

  • m/s = 3/2
  • s/h = 1/3
  • m+s+h = 220

<u>From the ratios we get:</u>

  • m = 3s/2
  • h= 3s

<u>Considering the above in the sum of books:</u>

  • m+s+h = 220
  • 3s/2 + s + 3s = 220
  • 3s + 2s + 6s = 2*220
  • 11s = 440
  • s = 440/11
  • s = 40

<u>Number of maths books:</u>

  • m = 3s/2 = 3*40/2 = 60

Solve the system
geniusboy [140]
The answer is A. You can get that in by plugging in and checking or by substitution. In order to use substitution here, you would plug in 3x + 3 into y in the first equation. You would then distribute the 2 and solve for x, which would give you 0. Then you could plug that into either equation to find that y = 3.

Answer:

-2, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x−4(x+1)|=2

|3x - 4x - 4| = 2

|-x - 4| = 2

-x - 4 = 2

-x = 6

x = -6

-x - 4 = -2

-x = 2

x = -2
