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

To find the original length you must take away the add-ons. To do so we know that they added 7 and A= l*l (or l squared). They added the 7 to the length so multiply 7*7 (49) subtract your answer from 169 (120) and that's your new area. To find the original length divide by 4 (I believe) and get 30m2
