Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn 39% into a decimal
0.39
"of" means to multiply
so we get
0.39 * 72 = x
Sqrt(5u + 2) = sqrt(3u + 14)
Square both sides to clear the square root.
5u + 2 = 3u + 14
subtract 3u from both siides
2u + 2 = 14
subtract 2 from both sides
2u = 12
divide both sides by 2
u = 6
When you square a square root you MUST check the solution.
sqrt(5*6 + 2) = sqrt(3*6 + 14)
sqrt(32) = sqrt(32)

<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
