write out the equation:
8y=3+7y (I'm assuming y is the amount of comic books)
8=3+7
8=10
Obviously the equation isn't equal. The nonfiction is greater. By the way, I took out the y because I assumed that y was the amount of books and there was no need to write out 8 times one. On a test, make sure you specify this of the teacher may take off points, if she is using Common Core.
