<u>Answers</u>
19 fiction books
7 nonfiction books
<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
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term is
an=a1(r)^(n-1)
an=1(2)^(n-1)
a1=1
r=2
the sum of a geometric seequence is
a1=1
r=2
we want to find
(since we minus 1, the highest exponet is 9 so add 1 to make it correct)
[(21 + 5) ÷ 2] + 7 × (8 - 3)
[26 ÷ 2] + 7 × (8 - 3)
13 + 7 × (8 - 3)
13 + 7 × 5
13 + 35
48
8x - 32 = 6 - 9x
17x = 38
x = 38/17
