Answer:

84 books were taken to the market.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's turn the word problem into algebra.

We can rewrite 3:4 as 3x:4x since we don't know the actual individual numbers, solely that it is divisible by these numbers.

Next, since we know 3x = 36 because of the question, we can solve for x using the division property of equality and get x=12. Once we have x=12 we can find the number of books the other trader has - 4x - by simply multiplying 12 by 4 to get 48 books. Now all we need to do is find the total number of books that both traders have and to do this all we need to do is add 36 to 48 to get a final answer of 84 books.

Order the following integers from least to greatest.-41, -53, -73, -78 A. -78, -53, -73, -41 B. -78, -73, -41, -53 C. -73, -78,
irakobra [83]

The value of negative integers decreases the further we get from the 0 point on the number line.

Therefore, if we arrange the numbers in ascending order ignoring the negative sign, the numbers will be in descending order when the negative sign is included.

By the definition above, we can say that the smallest number of the lot is -78 and the largest one is -41.

The numbers can be ordered from least to greatest as shown below:

-78,-73,-53,-41

OPTION D is the correct answer.

30 points!<br> You start at (-2, 2). You move left 3 units and right 10 units. Where do you end?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The answer is (5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

I. If move left = -x

    move right = +x

  So -2 - 3 =  -5 => move left

        -5 + 10 = 5 => move right

I suggest that move left and right is x cordinate

The answer is (5,2)

Is that correct?
