In order to find out the answer , you just need to count :
Let's say that mary's collection is symbolized by x
2/3 x = 4h
x = 3/2 . 4h
x = 6h
The storybooks they have in total would be : 6h + 4h = 10 h
hope this helps
4n + 8 = n - 7
(In which 'n' represents the unknown number)
(4n + 8): "Eight more than the product of four and a number"
(= n - 7): "Is equivalent to seven less than the same number in equation form."
Subtract 8 from both sides:
4n = n - 15
Subtract n from both sides:
3n = -15
Divide both sides by 3:
n = -5
Y = -x + 4.....so sub in -x + 4 in for y in the other equation
x + 2y = -8
x + 2(-x + 4) = -8
x - 2x + 8 = -8
x - 2x = -8 - 8
-x = -16
x = 16
y = -x + 4
y = -16 + 4
y = - 12
one solution (16,-12)
14/8 = 1.75
The scale factor is 1.75 because 8* 1.75 = 14
The rise is 1 and the run is 7
