Substitution
y = 2x - 12
y = -x + 3
-x + 3 = 2x - 12
+ x + x
-----------------------------
3 = 3x - 12
+ 12 + 12
-----------------------
15 = 3x
------ ------
3 3
x = 5
y = 2(5) - 12
y = 10 - 12
y = -2
The final answer is (5,-2).
A)
Since 5 of the books are new, that means that the other books are used. So, there are 11-5=6. The ratio would be 5:6.
b)
The ratio is 6:11. You get the 6 from the above problem.
