<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

Huilan's age is two times Thomas's age. The sum of their ages is 57. What is Thomas's age?
Anni [7]

Answer:

Thomas is 19 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas's age is T

Huilan is 2 times Thomas's age or 2T

the sum of both ages is 57

That means T + 2T = 57

3T = 57

T = 57/3

T = 19

Since T is Thomas's age, Thomas is 19 years old

Huilan is 38 years old

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!
