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

Hello!!

Equation forms:

y =  \frac{x^2}{4} +  \frac{x}{2} +  \frac{13}{4}

Therefore, x^2 - 2x + 4y - 13 = 0
