.51 is the answer...Hope this helps
The correct answer for this question is this one: "<span>147"</span>
Here's how to solve this problem.
Let <span>x = number of mystery books on the shelf </span>
<span>Let 3x = total number of books on the shelf </span>
<span>we are told that </span>
<span>x/5<10<x/4 </span>
<span>multiply by 20, </span>
<span>4x<200<5x </span>
<span>which means that </span>
<span>40<x<50 </span>
<span>So the number of mystery books can be any number between 41 and 49.
In other words, the possible total number of books could be three times the above numbers, 123, 126, 129,.... </span>

Answer:
Though it may vary, it's going closer to 0.5 as long as we enlarge our sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Since a coin has heads and tails, then a sample proportion of 40 we can simulate it using some applets.
2) Here are the most common outcomes, as long as we continue on flipping coins.

If we continue enlarging our sample (80, 120,160...) the probability goes closer to 0.5
This shows: the theoretical probability goes closer and closer to the experimental probability of heads and tails

Given the system of equations:

To solve it by substitution, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Solve one linear equation for x in terms of y.
Let's choose the second equation. To solve it for x, add 3y to each side of the equations.

Step 2: Substitute the expression found for x in the first equation.

Step 3: Isolate y in the equation found in step 2.
To do it, first, add 48 to both sides.

Then, divide both sides by 15.

Step 4: Substitute y by 5 in the relation found in step 1 to find x.

Answer:
x = -9
y = 5
or (-9, 5)
Also, you can graph the lines by choosing two points from each equation, according to the picture below.
