Answer: let the no of paperback books be x and hardcover books be y

4y - x = 3

Therefore, x - 4y = -3 -----(1)

x + y = 447 ----(2)

Put x = 447 - y in eqn 1

447- y - 4y = -3

-5y = -3 - 447

-5y = -450

y = 90

x = 357

4(2.1k-4)=6(3.4k-2) what does (K) equal?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Hey there.

4(2.1k - 4) = 6(3.4k - 2); apply the distributive property to remove the parenthesis.
8.4k - 16 = 20.4k - 12; Get the variable to one side, so subtract 8.4k.
-16 = 12k - 12; isolate the variable by adding 12.
-4 = 12k; divide by 12 to solve for our variable.
k = -1/3

I hope this helps!

<u>The minimum distance is 492 meters from the house (500 - 8 = 492), and the maximum distance is 508 meters from the house (500 + 8 = 508). The dog may be slightly closer to the house, depending on how long the dog is, or if Morgan is using a leash extender.</u>
