i think it would be 4/15 because science is 6/15 and fiction is 5/15

i don't need it but brainliest is appreciated

The way I would do this problem would be to find a common denominator for both of the fractions.

5/15

6/15

And then we can find out how many books there are left.

5/15 + 6/15 is 11/15

11/15 books are about science and biography, the other 4/15 are fiction.

1. Solve for w in the equation W/5 = 25<br> A.W = 5<br> B.W = 125<br> C. W = 30<br> D.W = 20
vekshin1

Answer: <em>w = 125</em>

Explanation: Since <em>w</em> is being divided by 5, to solve for <em>w</em>,

multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

On the left side, the 5's will cancel

and on the right side, 25(5) is 125.

So <em>w = 125</em>.

<u />

<u>Please do not do this problem in your head.</u>

Show the work that it takes to get <em>w</em> by itself.

How many solutions are there for the system x^2+4y^2=100 and 4y-x^2=-20
never [62]
There are 5 solutions for this system.

x^2 + 4y^2 = 100  ____1
4y - x^2 = -20  ____2
Add both 1 & 2 together. x^2 gets cancelled
4y^2 + 4y = 80   (send 80 to the other side and divide by 4)
Then equation the becomes : y^2 + y -20 =0
Now factorise the equation: (y+5) (y-4) = 0
Solve for y :  y = -5 and y = 4
Using the values of y to find the values of x. From equation 1:
x^2 = 100 - 4y^2    x = /100 - 4y^2  (/ means square root) Replace values of y
y = -5, x = /100 - 4(-5)^2 = /100 - 100 = 0
y = 4, x = /100 - 4(4)^2 = / 100 - 64 = /36 = -6 or 6
Thus we have 6 solutions y = -5, 4 and x = -6, 0, 6
