<u>Answers</u>
19 fiction books
7 nonfiction books
<u>Explanation</u>
x + y = 26 ............................................. (i)
x – y = 12 ............................................ (ii)
Elliot added the two equations and the result was
2x = 38.
Dividing both sides by 2;
x = 19
There are 19 fiction books.
Substituting x in equation (i),
x + y = 26 when x = 19
19 + y = 26
y = 26 - 19
= 7
There are 7 nonfiction books
Answer:
y = -2/13
