Answer:

2 science fiction and 5 mystery

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will set up a system of equations.

x (science fiction) y (mystery)

x + y = 7 This is the total books bought.

7x + 9y = 59 The amount of each set to the total cost.

Now we solve.

(-7)x + y = 7 equals

-7x - 7y = -49

added to

7x + 9y = 59

this equals

2y = 10

y = 5

Now we know one. We can plug it in to find the other value.

x + 5 = 7

x = 2

Why might a mattress store choose to advertise new mattresses, worth $1,000, as $50 per week for 22 weeks?
IgorLugansk [536]
By doing so, they provide the illusion that the payments are cheaper then 1000 dollars, because 50 looks very small, when in reality it's $100 more then what the mattress is actually worth.
