Salutations!
<span>There are 318 fiction books in the class library. The number of non fiction book is 47 less than double the number of fictions book. About how many non fiction books are there in the class library?
Let the number of non fiction books me 'NF'.
Let 'F' be fiction
Double means '2', therefore:
2F - 47 = non fiction (NF)
2(318) - 47 = non fiction
As you can see brackets indicate multiplication, therefore you will be multiplying 318 and 2
636 - 47 = non fiction (NF)
Subtract 47 from 636
589 = nonfiction (NF)
There are 589 non fiction books in the library.
Hope I helped (:
Have a great day!</span>

ANSWER
The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 1.
EXPLANATION
The given equations are:
y = -x - 2
and
y = 2x - 5.
We want to find the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations.
We equate the two equations to obtain an equation in x.
This implies that,
2x-5=-x-2
Group similar terms to obtain:
2x+x=-2+5
Simplify
3x=3
Divide both sides by 3.
x=1
The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 1
Answer:
$359.42
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in the investment values can be computed by making use of the formulas for the account balance in each case.
compound interest: A = P(1 +r)^t . . . . interest at rate r compounded annually
simple interst: A = P(1 +rt) . . . . simple interest at rate r
__
The account earning simple interest will have a balance of ...
A = $8000(1 +0.12×3) = $10,880
The account earning compound interest will have a balance of ...
A = $8000(1 +0.12)^3 ≈ $11,239.42
The difference between the two investments is ...
$11,239.42 -10,880 = $359.42
