Mathematics

Answer:

108 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of magazines = m

Let the number of books = b

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Total number of m & b = 162

<em>Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;</em>

b = m + 54 ......equation 1

m + b = 162 ......equation 2

<em>Substituting equation "1" into equation "2" we have;</em>

m + m + 54 = 162

2m + 54 = 162

2m = 162 - 54

2m = 108

m = \frac {108}{2}

m = 54

Now to find the number of books;

b = m + 54

Substituting the value of "m" into the equation, we have;

b = 54 + 54

<em>b = 108</em>

<em>Therefore, the total number of books in the library is 108 books. </em>

The rectangular rug has side lengths of 3 and 4 ft. What is the length of the diagonal? Draw a picture of the problem and solve.
Nadusha1986 [10]

ANSWER

The length of the diagonal is 5 ft

EXPLANATION

The diagram of the rug with the diagonal is:

The diagonal and the sides form a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find x, the length of the diagonal:

\begin{gathered} x^2=3^2+4^2 \\ x=\sqrt[]{9+16} \\ x=\sqrt[]{25} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}

-3(5x + 7) + 2x – 3 = 5.x - 8 - 13​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3(x + -2) = 5x + 8

Reorder the terms:

3(-2 + x) = 5x + 8

(-2 * 3 + x * 3) = 5x + 8

(-6 + 3x) = 5x + 8

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 3x = 8 + 5x

Solving

-6 + 3x = 8 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 3x + -5x = 8 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x  

-6 + -2x = 8 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

-6 + -2x = 8 + 0

-6 + -2x = 8

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + -2x = 8 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + -2x = 8 + 6

-2x = 8 + 6

Combine like terms: 8 + 6 = 14

-2x = 14

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -7

Simplifying

x = -7

Explain how to decide whether to use graphing, substitution, or elimination to solve a system of equations.
Bess [88]
It depends on the systems of equations. I would stay away from elimination, go for substitution and graph only if asked.
