Answer:

598 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of books in the 3rd pile. We will have then:

1st pile: 2x + 10

2nd pile: 2x

3rd pile: x

3000 = (2x + 10) + (2x) + (x)

3000 = 5x + 10

3000 - 10 = 5x

2990 = 5x

2990/5 = x

x = 598 books in the third pile!

We can check that:

3000 = 2*598 + 10 + 2*598 + 598

3000 = 1196 + 10 + 1196 + 598

3000 = 3000 CHECK!

What is the solution of the system? 7x+5y=19 and -7x-2y=-16 Need help ASAP
Stells [14]

Answer:

x = 2, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 7x + 5y = 19
  • -7x - 2y = -16

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Add the terms from top to bottom. 7x and -7x cancel out.

0 + 3y = 3

Divide both sides by 3.

y = 1

Substitute 1 for y into the first equation.

7x + 5(1) = 19

7x + 5 = 19

Subtract 5 from both sides.

7x = 14

Divide both sides by 7.

x = 2
