Answer:

There are 1500 non fiction books and 500 fiction books currently in the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Number of books = 2000

Let the number of fiction books be 'x'.

Now given:

There are 3 times as many non-fiction books as fiction books.

Number of non fiction books = 3x

We need to find the number of non-fiction and fiction books.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Total Number of books is equal to sum of the number of non-fiction and fiction books.

framing in equation form we get;

x+3x=2000\\\\4x=2000

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{2000}{4}\\\\x= 500\ books

Number of fiction books = 500

Number of non fiction books = 3x=3\times 500 =1500

Hence There are 1500 non fiction books and 500 fiction books currently in the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cargo box of a truck is a rectangular prism. The volume of a rectangular prism is l*w*h.

If the length is 39.6 ft, the width is 7.6 ft and the height is 8.8 ft then the volume is (39.6)(7.6)(8.8) = 2,648.448 cubic feet

Explain why in the Venn Diagram example the number who liked Hip Hop plus the number who liked Country was NOT the same as the n
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Suppose that you have 50 people that like hip hop and 50 people that like country.

Now, the union of those sets would be 50 + 50 = 100 people, right?

Well, this may be incorrect, because in the 50 people that like hip hop, we may have, for example, 10, that also like country (this means that in the 50 people that like country, we also have 10 that like hip hop).

Then when we are adding 50 + 50 we are counting those 10 people in both groups, and that is why the direct addition may be different than the union of both sets.

In more technical words, the union of two sets is equal to the addition of the elements of both sets minus the elements in the intersection of both sets (in our prior example, the 10 people that like hip hop and country music are the intersection of both sets)

A line passes through the points (4,6) and (3, 3). What is its equation in slope-intercept
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

y = 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line:

3 - 6 / 3 - 4  -> -3/-1 so the slope is 3

Now use the point-slope form to find the slope-intercept form:

y - 3 = 3 (x - 3)

y - 3 = 3x - 9        add three to each side...

y = 3x - 6
