Answer:

  • 7 fiction books
  • 23 non-fiction books

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of non-fiction read was 5 less than 4 times the number of fiction books.

Assume fiction books are x.

An equation representing this would be:

x + (4x - 5) = 30

5x - 5 = 30

5x = 30 + 5

x = 35 / 5

x = 7 fiction books

Non-fiction books:

= 4x - 5

= 4 * 7 - 5

= 23 non - fiction books

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

it is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

confirm if it is a right triangle using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

12² + 35²

144 + 1225 = 1369

square toot of 1369 is 37

so

12² + 35² = 37²

A triangle has one angle measuring 3X degrees a second angle measures 2X +20°
Lena [83]
Answer : x = 20

Explanation :
3x + 2x +20 + 4x - 20 = 180

(3+2+4=9)

9x + 20 - 20
The 20s cancel each other out because one is positive and the other is negative

9x = 180

9x/9 = 180/9

X = 180 divided by 9

X = 20
