Answer:

Total Paperback books = 8x , where x is any positive number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The total books are = 13x   ; where x is any positive number

As given,

The ratio of hardback books to total books is 5 to 13.

⇒Hardback books = \frac{5}{13}× Total books

⇒Hardback books = \frac{5}{13}× 13x = 5x

So, Paperback books = Total books - Hardback books

                                    = 13x - 5x

                                    = 8x

⇒Total Paperback books = 8x

Given:

The statement is:

{5, 6, 7} = {5, 5, 6, 7, 7}

To find:

Whether the given statement is true or false.

Solution:

Two sets are equal if they have exactly the same elements.

The given set {5, 6, 7} has three elements and the set {5, 5, 6, 7, 7} has five elements but we known that all the elements of a set are distinct. It means, it has no repeated element.

Set {5, 5, 6, 7, 7} has three distinct elements 5, 6, 7. So,

{5, 5, 6, 7, 7} = {5, 6, 7}

Therefore, the given statement is true.

Solve the quadratic equation numerically (using tables of x- and y- values). -4x=-x2+12
Levart [38]
-4x=-x2+12 should be written  <span>-4x=-x^2+12, with " ^ " representing exponentiation.

You are to invent a table of x values and find the difference between -4x and -x^ 2+12.  The smaller the difference, the closer you are to finding the correct root, x.

To get you started:

 x     -4x              x^2+12      difference
--- ------------   ----------------   --------------
 2       -8                 16               24 (pretty bad!)
-4       16                28              12 (better)
 -10   40              112                72 (much worse)

To answer this problem correctly, you must present such a table, even tho' it'd be faster to use the quadratic formula (or some other method) to find x.
