<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

Answer:

We saw in the last video that when you multiply or you divide numbers, or (I guess I should say when you multiply or divide measurements) your result can only have as many significant digits as the thing with the smallest significant digits you ended up multiplying and dividing. So just as a quick example, if I have 2.00 times (I don't know) 3.5 my answer over here can only have 2 significant digits This has 2 significant digits, this has 3. 2 times 3.5 is 7, and we can get
