Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
Answer:
g o f = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required:
Find g o f
This is calculated as:
So:
![g(f(x)) = 2[ 16x^2 + 16x + 4)] - 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=g%28f%28x%29%29%20%3D%202%5B%2016x%5E2%20%2B%2016x%20%2B%204%29%5D%20-%204)

Answer:
84
Step-by-step explanation:
let a be the 1's digit and b the 10's digit, then
a = 2b ← twice the 10's digit, thus
sum = 2b + b = 12, that is
3b = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
b = 4
and a = 2b = 2 × 4 = 8
The 2 digit number is 84
