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

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: However, in real life it depends on the shape of the actual presents. If two sheets are used for the 2 presents. There should be enough left from those sheets to use for the third present. (They should be taped together.)


Step-by-step explanation:  6/3 then 3 over 8 ––> 3/8

6/ 27/8

= 6/1 / divide 27/8

= 6^2 /1 x 8/27 ^9              (^) –––>  this mean square root of 2 or 9

6 cancels and 27 cancel

= 16/9

=1  7/9

However  you will still need to buy 2 sheets

Answer:

About 5.5% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the percentage increase or decrease and its value.

The first thing to do here is to check if we are going to have a decrease or an increase.

since the value before the change is higher than the value after the change, then what we have is a decrease.

Mathematically, the percentage decrease is calculated as follows;

% decrease = (old value - new value)/old value * 100%

old value = 163 feet

new value = 154 feet

% decrease = (154-163)/163 * 100%

% decrease = -9/163 * 100%

% decrease = -5.52%

Thus the best answer is about 5.5% decrease

Which is the completely factored form of 3x^2-12x-15
Luba_88 [7]

Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

GCF = 3

Factor out the GCF ( Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF)

3(3x^2/3 + -12x/3 - 15/3)

Simplify each term in parentheses

3(x^2 - 4x - 5)

Factor x^2 - 4x - 5

<u>3(x - 5)(x + 1)</u>
