Answer:

Romance books ordered =   65

Mystery books ordered  =  775

Science Fiction book  Ordered ≈ 116

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books ordered in the library = 956

Let us assume the number of romance books ordered = m

⇒Number of mystery books ordered = 12 x (Number of romance books)

                                                                =  12 x(m)  = 12 m

Also,number of science books ordered = 52 +(Number of romance books)

                                                                    = 52  +   m

Now, according to the question:

Number of { romance books + mystery books + science books} = 956

or, m  + ( 12 m ) +  (52  + m)  = 956

or, 14 m = 956 - 52

or, 14 m = 904

⇒ m =  904/ 14 =  64.6

So, the number of romance books ordered = 64.6 ≈  65

Number  of mystery books ordered  = 12 m =  12 x 64.5  = 775

Number of science fiction book  ordered = = 52 + m =  116.6 ≈ 116

Greeley [361]

Answer: \boxed{Sol=\{\dfrac{7}{4} \}}\\

I suppose 17x^ means 17x².

and that we must solve the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-3)(x-5)-(4x+1)(1-4x)=14x^2\\\\x^2-3x-5x+15+(4x+1)(4x-1)=17x^2\\\\x^2-8x+15+16x^2-1=17x^2\\\\-8x+14=0\\\\8x=14\\\\x=\dfrac{7}{4} \\\\\boxed{Sol=\{\dfrac{7}{4} \}}\\
