Elliot has a total of 26 books. He has 12 more fiction books than nonfiction books. Let x represent the number of fiction books

and y represent the number of nonfiction books.
The system of equations models the total costs for each.
x + y = 26
x – y = 12
Elliot added the two equations and the result was
2x = 38.
Solve the equation. How many of each type of book does Elliot have?

<u>Answers</u>

19 fiction books

7 nonfiction books


<u>Explanation</u>

x + y = 26  ............................................. (i)

x – y = 12  ............................................ (ii)

Elliot added the two equations and the result was

2x = 38.

Dividing both sides by 2;

x = 19

There are 19 fiction books.

Substituting x in equation (i),

x + y = 26             when x = 19

19 + y = 26

y = 26 - 19

   = 7

There are 7 nonfiction books

write the standard form of the line that passes through the given point. include your work in your final answer. (6,1)and (5,4)
bezimeni [28]
We are given two points on a line. First we need to find the slope of the line using these two points.

The given points are (6, 1) and (5, 4). The slope (m) of the line will be:

m= \frac{4-1}{5-6} =-3

Using the slope and the point (6,1) we can write the equation in point slope form as:

y - 1 = -3(x -6)

y = -3x + 18 + 1

y = -3x + 19

In standard form, the equation will be:

3x + y = 19

Answer:

Domain: {1, 2, 3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of the graph (input values) is the number of pizzas which are plotted on the x-axis while the range (output values) is the cost of pizza, plotted on the y-axis (vertical axis)

The domain therefore would consists of each x-coordinate that represent each point on the graph, which are {1, 2, 3, 4}
