The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
 We have then:
 x = cost of a hardcover book
 y = cost of a paperback book
 We write the system of equations:
 3x + 7y = 29.50
 2x + 5y = 20.50
 The solution to the system is:
 x = 4 $
 y = 2.5 $
 Answer:
 the cost of a hardcover book is $ 4

Pls help, I don’t understand how to do this
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

5 parts are shaded and 4 parts are white so:

There are 9 parts all together.

We can then form ratio's of the white areas and the shaded areas:

White Area Ratio =

\frac{4}{9}

Shaded Area Ratio =

\frac{5}{9}

Let the area of sqaure be equated to x, which means let the entire area of the square equal to x:

x = Area of whole square

Now we can form an equation :

\frac{5}{9} x = 165

So now we just need to solve for x:

x = \frac{165}{ \frac{5}{9} }

x = 297

The area of the square is:

297 {cm}^{2}
