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:

$F = 3N$

eq2:

$2*(F - 122) = (N - 24)$

$2F - 244 = N - 24$

$2F = N + 220$

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

$6N = N + 220$

$5N = 220$

$N = 44\ books$

$F = 3N = 132\ books$

The total number of books is:

$F + N = 132 + 44 = 176\ books$

Evaluate the expression for x = 4: 6+ (10 - x)2 - 20

Liono4ka [1.6K]

6 + (10 - 4)2 - 20 = 6 + 12 - 20 = 18 - 20 = -2

Assuming that the two in the middle of the expression is multiplied by (10 - x) the answer would be -2. I apologize if I did not read your question right.

1; 4; 16; 64; ...<br>what is the general term

Alborosie

Given:

The sequence is

1, 4, 16, 64

To find:

The general term of the given sequence.

Solution:

We have, the sequence

1, 4, 16, 64

Here, the ratio between two consecutive terms is same. So, it is a geometric sequence.

First term is:

$a=1$

Common ratio is:

$r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}$

$r=\dfrac{4}{1}$

$r=4$

The nth term of a geometric sequence is

$a_n=ar^{n-1}$ ...(i)

Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Putting a=1 and r=4 in (i), we get

$a_n=(1)(4)^{n-1}$

$a_n=4^{n-1}$

Therefore, the general term of the given sequence is $a_n=4^{n-1}$ .

(19,-9) (-7,-15) in slope intercept form

never [62]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{13}x-\frac{174}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

slope:

$m=\frac{-15-(-9)}{-7-19} =\frac{-15+9}{-26} =\frac{-6}{-26} =\frac{3}{13}$

Equation, with the point (19, -9):

$y-(-9)=\frac{3}{13} (x-19)$

$y+9=\frac{3}{13} x-\frac{57}{13}$

$y=\frac{3}{13} x-\frac{57}{13} -9$

$-9=-9(\frac{13}{13} )=-\frac{117}{13}$

$y=\frac{3}{13}x-\frac{174}{13}$

Hope this helps

Ann's car can go 312 miles on 8 gallons of gas. During a drive last weekend, Ann used 3 gallons of gas. How far did she drive

larisa [96]

The answer is 117 miles and if you were given the miles intead multiply 117 (or whatever the number would havw been) by 8 then divid th product by 312 to get the amount of gas used
