Answer:
X+Y=26
X-Y=12
Step-by-step explanation:
fiction books= X
non fiction books= Y
then,
fiction books= X
non fiction books = X-12
but Y= X - 12
from. the statement,
X+Y = 26
X-Y=12
Answer:
AB=29; BC=27
Step-by-step explanation:
So they told us AB=4x+9 and that BC=5x+2, and AC=56 , now to help with the question you can draw this information on a number line. Now on a number you can see that basically AC=AB+BC.
So you would write it as such,,
4x+9+5x+2=56
Combine like terms
9x+11=56
Now you have to isolate the x by itself but first get rid of the 11.
9x+11-11=56-11
You would get
9x=45
Here you can divide 9 by both sides to isolate x.
9x/9=45/9
{x=5}
Now to find the value for both substitue x in the equations for both
1. AB=4x+9 where x is 5
4(5)+9 =AB
20+9 =AB
29=AB
You would do the same with BC
2. BC= 5x+2 where x is 5
5(5)+2= BC
25+2= BC
27=BC
If you want to check your answers you can just substitute x for 5 in the first equation we did where AC=AB+BC
The answer is 24.5

Answer:
for the third one 2/5 for the fourth one 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first one, I put 10/25 as a fraction and found the least common multiple, which is 5. I then simplified, and got 2/5.
For the second one, I chose 3/5 because there are 3 friends whose names end in a, and 5 friends whose names do not end in a. My theory was that I took the friends and divided them into 2 groups by most common.
hope this helps if it doesn't I will correct myself :)
