Answer:

32 books are none fiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

If %60 of her books are fiction that means that 40% are nonfiction (since in total there are 100% books and 60% are fiction which means that the rest is non-fiction). In order to find 40%, we just multiply the total amount of books by 0.4, and so we get...

80 x 0.4 = 32

Therefore 32 books are none fiction.

Solve the following inequalities.

Airida [17]

$-4x-2$

Add 2 to both sides:

$-4x$

Divide both sides by -4 (this is negative, so we have to swap the inequality sign):

$x>\dfrac{5}{2}$

$2(y-4)\leq 10-y$

Expand the left hand side:

$2y-8\leq 10-y$

Add 8 and y to both sides:

$3y\leq 18$

Divide both sides by 3

$y \leq 6$

3-4

Nothing different from 1 and 2, apply the same logic (expand sides, gather constant and non-constant terms together, solve for the variable) and you will solve them
