Answer: History textbooks sold = 236, Sociology textbooks sold = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

- There are in total 354 books

- Let x be the number of sociology textbooks sold

- Let 2x be the number of history textbooks sold

<u>Solve</u>

Given

x + 2x = 354

Combine like terms

3x = 354

Divide 3 on both sides

3x / 3 = 354 / 3

x = 118

2x = 118 × 2 = 236

Hope this helps!! :)

A point located at (-3, 2) is translated down 4 units. What are the coordinates of the image?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point is translated, the key words are very important to look at.

Up/down means you are translating the y axis.

Left/right means you are translating the x axis.

So using this key, we can solve.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A point located at (-3, 2) is translated down 4 units.

Since the point is going down, we will be translating the y axis. 2-4 is -2.

Since the x is staying the same, the x will be -3.

So your translated points are (-3, -2)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this helps!

What is$$\frac{\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}}+\frac{1}{2}?$$
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

\frac{39}{70}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\frac{\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}}+\frac{1}{2} we are to find the value of x as shown below;

\frac{\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}}+\frac{1}{2}\\= \dfrac{\dfrac{6-5}{30} }{\dfrac{4+3}{12} } + \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\= \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{30} }{\dfrac{7}{12} } + \dfrac{1}{2}   \\\\= \frac{1}{30} * \frac{12}{7} + \frac{1}{2}\\\\= \frac{2}{35}  + \frac{1}{2} \\\\=    \frac{4+35}{70} \\\\= \frac{39}{70}

There is a sales tax of $16 on an item that costs $232 before tax. The sales tax on a second item is $ 22. How much does the sec
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

  $319

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually, sales tax is proportional to the amount of the sale, so if the sales tax is a factor of 22/16 times the original tax, then the sale amount must be 22/16 times the original item cost:

  (22/16)·$232 = $319
