Answer:
176 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the number of fiction books 'F', and the number of non-fiction books 'N'. Then, we can write the following system of equations:
eq1:

eq2:



Using the 'F' value from the first equation, we have:




The total number of books is:

 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Congressman Smith will defeat Challenger Jones
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the poll has a +/- 3% margin of error, the minimum and maximum possible percentages for each candidate are:
(44% - 3%) ≤ Jones ≤ (44% + 3%)
41% ≤ Jones ≤ 47%
(54% - 3%) ≤ Smith ≤ (54% + 3%)
51% ≤ Smith ≤ 57%
This means that, even in the worst possible scenario for Congressman Smith, he would still beat Jones with 51% against 47% of the votes. The pollster can safely predict that Congressman Smith will defeat Challenger Jones

Answer:
<h3>
            Any of them.</h3><h2>          
a ∈ R</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x - 4y = 2a                         4x - 5y = 2
-4y = 5x + 2a                        -5y = -4x + 2
y = (5x + 2a):(-4)                    y = (-4x + 2):(-5)
y = -⁵/₄x - ¹/₂a                           y = ⁴/₅x - ²/₅
m₁ = -⁵/₄,  b₁ = -¹/₂a                  m₂=⁴/₅,  b₂= -²/₅
                -⁵/₄ ≠ ⁴/₅
Different slopes means that two lines have one point of intercept (no mater what the b's are). That means that the system of linear equations has exactly one solution for any value of a.
