Answer:

The number of

Fiction books = x = 2400 fiction books

Non fiction books = y = non fiction books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of

Fiction books = x

Non fiction books = y

The libary has 4,000 books in total.

Hence: x + y = 4000........ Equation 1

The number of fiction books in a libary is %150 of the number of non-fiction books.

x = 150% of y

x = 150/100 × y

x = 1.5y

We substitute 1.5y for x in Equation 1

x + y = 4000

1.5y + y = 4000

2.5y = 4000

y = 4000/2.5

y = 1600 non fiction books

Solving for x

x = 1.5y

x = 1.5 × 1600

x = 2400 fiction books.

Therefore,

The number of

Fiction books = x = 2400 fiction books

Non fiction books = y = non fiction books

9<br> Find the values of r and y.<br> с<br> A<br> 95°<br> B<br> 4x<br> ro<br> D<br> E
Inga [223]

Answer:

  • x = 18°, y = 167°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>In right triangle sum of two angles is 90°</u>

  • 4x + x = 90°
  • 5x = 90°
  • x = 90°/5
  • x = 18°

<u>Angle y is exterior angle and equals non-adjacent interior angles</u>

  • y = 4x + 95° =
  • 4*18° + 95° =
  • 72° + 95° =
  • 167°
