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!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

There are 3 ways of solving a simultaneous problem, substitution method, elimination method and Gauss-Jordan method. I'm gonna use the substitution method since it's easier and i think it would suit your level more.

First let's try solving for y since it's easier to start with.

Firstly we have to find an equation for x:

x-2y=2\\x-2y+2y=2+2y\\x=2+2y

Great, now we can use the substitution method to find the value of y using the first equation:

2x+3y=11\\2(2+2y)+3y=11\\4+4y+3y=11\\7y=7\\y=1

Now we know that y=1 we can solve the first equation we made:

x=2+2y\\x=2+2(1)\\x=4

And the answer is x=4 , y= 1\\(4,1)

Double check:

2x+3y=11\\2(4)+3(1)=11\\8+3=11\\11=11\\\\x-2y=2\\(4)-2(1)=2\\2=2

And that's our final answer! (4,1)

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\sqrt[3]{5x-4} = \sqrt[3]{7x + 8}

Cube both sides:

5x - 4 = 7x + 8

Subtract 5x from both sides:

-4 = 2x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-12 = 2x

x = -6.

Write an equivalent fraction for 10/2
Scorpion4ik [409]
10/2 is an improper fraction. So, change it to a mixed number. 10÷2=5

5 is the mixed number and is the equivalent fraction. You can also do 5/1 which is also equivalent.
