<h3>
Answer: 40 novels</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
n = number of novels
(32 ebooks)/(n novels) = 4/5
32/n = 4/5
32*5 = n*4 ............ cross multiply
160 = 4n
4n = 160
n = 160/4 .............. dividing both sides by 4
n = 40
There are 40 novels.
I don't know what your story is, but in a story, usually a problem would build tension.
Hope this helps!! :)
Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
