If we represents a book's cost as x, that would mean that 5*x would represent the cost of 5 books (as x+x+x+x+x=5x) and 4x would be 4, resulting in 5x+4x=9x. After that, we get that 19 books is 19x as the cost, but since Agnus gets a 10 dollar discount, it's 19x-10. After that, to combine the two, we notice that Agnus still spends 5$ more than what they spent combined (9x) so we get that 9x+5=19x-10. Subtracting 9x from both sides, we get 10x-10=5. Adding 10 to both sides there, we get 10x=15 and we can divide 10 by both sides to get x=1.5
It is the inverse of that number
Quotient means division, so you can immediately throw out C as an answer choice. the order of this question is important because it lists it exactly how you're supposed to write it: the quotient of 3 and m, which is 3 divided by m.
your answer is B. 3 divided by m equals 1.9!!

Answer:
(d) x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding the two equations gives ...
(-8x +8y) +(3x -8y) = (8) +(-18)
-5x = -10 . . . . . sum of the two equations
x = 2 . . . . . . . . result of dividing by -5
