4 0

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

The length of a rectangular garden is three feet less than twice it’s width. If the perimeter of the garden is 42 feet, what is
zzz [600]
<h3><u>The length is equal to 13.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 8.</u></h3>

l = 2w - 3

2l + 2w = 42

Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.

2(2w - 3) + 2w = 42

Distributive property.

4w - 6 + 2w = 42

Combine like terms.

6w - 6 = 42

Add 6 to both sides.

6w = 48

Divide both sides by 6.

w = 8

Now that we have a value for w, we can solve for the exact value of l.

l = 2(8) - 3

l = 16 - 3

l = 13

3a-4b=12 what does a solve?
leonid [27]

Answer:

a = 4 + -1.333333333b

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3a + 4b = 12

Solving

3a + 4b = 12

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4b' to each side of the equation.

3a + 4b + -4b = 12 + -4b

Combine like terms: 4b + -4b = 0

3a + 0 = 12 + -4b

3a = 12 + -4b

Divide each side by '3'.

a = 4 + -1.333333333b

Simplifying

a = 4 + -1.333333333b
