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

3. Rewrite the expression as simply as you can:<br> 3x + 11y - 2x - 4y
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

x+7y

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, lets split the question into both x and y.

3x - 2x for the x

11y - 4y for the y

You can solve both of them to get x + 7y

3x - 2x = x

11y - 4y = 7y

Then, add them back up and get x + 7y
