6j + 1/3n = 134...multiply by 3....18j + n = 402
1/3j + n = 31....multiply by 3....j + 3n = 93

the multiplying by 3 is optional...I just did it because it is easier to work with equations when there are no fractions.

18j + n = 402....multiply by -3
j + 3n = 93
----------------
-54j - 3n = - 1206 (result of multiplying by -3)
j + 3n = 93
----------------add
-53j = - 1113
j = -1113/-53
j = 21

j + 3n = 93
21 + 3n = 93
3n = 93 - 21
3n = 72
n = 72/3
n = 24

so Jasons collection (j) consists of 21 books and Nathans collection (n) consists of 24 books

413 divided by 14 <br> How do you it?
guajiro [1.7K]
You can either do this on the calculator, or in your head. As its a larger number, it is worth doing it on the calculator.
413/14= 29.5
The alternative method is to list all of the tens multiples, and the smaller multiples when you're getting close to the answer, and this will be able to help you.
14x10= 140
14x20=280
14x30= 420 (which is slightly too big)
14x29= 406 (slightly too small)
14x29.5= 413

Hope this helps :)
