X = 9
y = 6
Step by step:
Divide 15 by 2: 15 ÷ 2 = 7.5
Subtract 0.5 from 7.5 (this will later be added back): 7.5 - 0.5 = 7
Subtract 1 from 7 (she wants to buy at least 2 more children books): 7 - 1 = 6
Subtract 6 from 15 (6 being the number of puzzle books, 15 being the total number of items): 15 - 6 = 9 (number of children books)
Answer:
1 1/15
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - 9x - 5 =
combine like terms
6 - 9 = - 3
- 3x - 5 =
leave x by itself
- 3x - 5 =
+3x
___
0
- 5 = 3x
solve for x (division)
- 5 = 3x
___
3
-5/3 = x OR x = -5/3
Number 9 is 1.52 because you divide 15.3 by 10 it will be 1 .52
