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

Relationship B has a lesser rate than Relationship A. The graph represents Relationship A.
Zinaida [17]
Given that Relationship B has a lesser rate than Relationship A and that the graph representing Relationship A is a f<span><span>irst-quadrant graph showing a ray from the origin through the points (2, 3) and (4, 6) where the horizontal axis label is Time in weeks and the vertical axis label is Plant growth in inches.</span>

The rate of relationship A is given by the slope of the graph as follows:

slope= \frac{6-3}{4-2} = \frac{3}{2} =1.5

To obtain which table could represent Relationship B, we check the slopes of the tables and see which has a lesser slope.

For table A.
Time (weeks) 3 6 8 10
Plant growth (in.) 2.25 4.5 6 7.5

slope= \frac{4.5-2.25}{6-3} = \frac{2.25}{3} =0.75

For table B.
Time (weeks) 3 6 8 10
Plant growth (in.) 4.8 9.6 12.8 16

</span><span><span>slope= \frac{9.6-4.8}{6-3} = \frac{4.8}{3} =1.6

</span> For tabe C.
Time (weeks) 3 4 6 9
Plant growth (in.) 5.4 7.2 10.8 16.2

</span><span>slope= \frac{7.2-5.4}{4-3} = \frac{1.8}{1} =1.8

For table D.
Time (weeks) 3 4 6 9
Plant growth (in.) 6.3 8.4 12.6 18.9</span>

<span>slope= \frac{8.4-6.3}{4-3} = \frac{2.1}{1} =2.1</span>

Therefore, the table that could represent Relationship B is table A.
