Answer: \dfrac{b}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Let b = Total number of books.

Total shelves = 5

Number of books on each shelf = (Total number of books) ÷ (Total shelves)

= b  ÷ 5

=\dfrac{b}{5}

The required expression for the number of books on each shelf = \dfrac{b}{5}

BRAINIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY

An example of something that doesn't have a solution is something like x+2 = x+3

If we subtract x from both sides, then we end up with 2 = 3, which is always false.

No matter what we plug in for x, the original equation will always be false. The right hand side is always 1 larger than the left side. So that's why we don't have any solutions here.

Side note: equations of this form are known as contradictions (or we could say the equation is inconsistent).

=====================================================

An example of something that has one solution is 3x+2 = 2x+7

Solving this equation leads us to...

3x+2 = 2x+7

3x-2x = 7-2

1x = 5

x = 5

To verify the solution, we plug it back into the original equation

3x+2 = 2x+7

3(5)+2 = 2(5)+7

15+2 = 10+7

17 = 17

We get the same thing on both sides, so we get a true statement. This confirms that x = 5 is the solution to 3x+2 = 2x+7.

=====================================================

An example of an equation with infinitely many solutions is 2x+4 = 2(x+2)

Notice how both sides are the same thing. The 2(x+2) distributes out to get 2x+4

Since we have the exact same identical expression on both sides, this ultimately means no matter what we plug in for x, we'll get a true statement. True statements (like the conclusion at the last section) are simply anything with the same number on both sides after simplifying everything.

Side note: equations of this form are known as identities

Answer:

5:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with what the question is asking for, which is the ratio of math problems to minutes.

With ratios "to" also means ":", so you can change it to math problems : minutes.

Then, substitute the numbers for the labels. Math problems = 10 and minutes = 4, so now you have 10:4

Lastly, to simplify the ratio, find the greatest common factor, in this case 2, and divide both sides, which gives you your answer 5:2
