3/4 of 1/2 of the pie is lesser than 3/4 of 1 or entire pie.
In short, jared ate less than 3/4 of the entire pie.
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2=32
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides.
5x+2−2=32−2
5x=30
Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.
5x
5
=
30
5
x=6
Y=3x+2 i believe is the answer
Using a system of equations, it is found that she has 9 picture books.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Number of picture books.
- Variable y: Number of encyclopedias.
- Variable z: Number of fairy tale books.
The ratio of the number of picture books encyclopedias, and fairy tale books Annette had is 3:4:5, hence:

She gave half of her encyclopedias to her brother and he gave her 5 books of fairytales. Now she has 14 more books of fairy tales than encyclopedias, hence:
z + 5 - 0.5y = 14.
z - 0.5y = 9
From the ratios, we have that:

Hence we solve for x to find the number of picture books:


x = 9.
