Answer: If he has 3 mystery books, and those are 1/8 of his whole collection, he has 24 books.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 = 1/8 × x
multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/8 which is 8/1 ("flipped fraction")
8 × 3 = 8/1(1/8) x <em>When you multiply a fraction by its reciprocal, it produces 1, so it "cancels" in the multiplication</em>
<em>24 = x </em>
<em>This may seem complicated, but understanding the process will help you solve more complicated questions like this in the future, I hope.</em>

you can subtract from point 1 to point 2
(9,-2) - (8,3)
9-8= 1
-2-3= -5
therefore horizontal leg is 1
vertical leg is -5
you can also sketch and count the units :)
You do
-26
-4
---
-30
5n=-30 so...
-30/5=-6
Therefore
n=-6
