The top shelf has 14 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Books on bottom shelf = y = 12

Let,

Number of books on top shelf = x

Books on top shelf = 10 more than 1/3 on bottom shelf.

According to given statement;

x=\frac{1}{3}y+10

x=\frac{1}{3}*12+10\\\\x=\frac{12}{3}+10\\\\x=4+10\\\\x=14

Therefore,

The top shelf has 14 books.

What is the equation of a line, in Slope Intercept Form, with a slope of 4 and passes through the point (1, 6)?
Butoxors [25]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope m = 4 → y=4x+b

and point (1, 6). Substitute:

6=4(1)+b

6=4+b     <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>

2=b\to b=2

<h3>Answer: y = 4x + 2</h3>

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Total distance = 5.754 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Red lines of the right triangle show the layout of the race course.

Total length of the race course = Perimeter of the triangle

Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of the measures of all three sides

                                         = 1.83 + 1.524 + 2.4

                                         = 5.754 km

Therefore, total distance of the race course is 5.754 km.

You buy the same number of brushes, rollers, and paint cans. Write an expression in simplest form that represents the total amou
Soloha48 [4]

If you buy ' N ' of each item, then you'll pay  3.99N  for brushes,
21.79N  for cans of paint, and  6.89N  for rollers.

The question assures us that you bought the same number of
each item.  So your total bill at the hardware store checkout is

                      3.99N + 21.79N + 6.89N

                 =  N (3.99 + 21.79 + 6.89)

                 =        32.67 N .

The attendance at a baseball game was 400 people. Student tickets cost $2 and adult tickets cost $3. Total sales were $1050. How
S_A_V [24]
We know the total tickets sold = 400. Let x be the number of adult tickets sold. That means 400 - x is the number of student tickets. The revenue from adult tickets will be $3 * x, which we can call 3x. The revenue from student ticks will be $2 * (400 - x), or 800 - 2x. The total revenue is $1050, so that means: 3x + (800 - 2x) = 1050. Removing the parentheses: 3x + 800 - 2x = 1050 Subtracting 800 from both sides: 3x - 2x = 250 Simplifying the left side: x = 250, which is the number of adult tickets. 400-x = student tickets = 400-250 = 150. ALWAYS check! In this case, check the revenue: 3x = 3(250) = 750 2(150) = 300 750 + 300 = 1050. Check!
