17 books in total, and 8 new. To find the number of used books, we subtract 8 from 17.
17-8= 9 used books
Now we have 8 new books and 9 used books.
All books: 17
Used books: 9
New books: 8
(a) all books: used books
17: 9
(b) new books: used books
8: 9
Answer:
x ≈ 3.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the segment shared by the two triangle "y". The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
sum of squares of sides = square of hypotenuse
y² +6² = 10²
x² +7² = y²
Substituting for y² using the second equation, we get ...
x² +7² +6² = 10²
x² = 10² -7² -6² = 100 -49 -36 = 15
Taking the square root, we find ...
x = √15 ≈ 3.9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
subtract 8 from both sides
8-2x-8=-4x+4-8
simplify
-2x=-4x-4
add 4x to both sides
-2x+4x=-4x-4+4x
Simplify
2x=-4
divide both sides by 2
2x/2=4/2
simplify
x=-2
Answer:
y=-1.5x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
18y=12x-72
3y=2x-12
y=2/3x-4
Slope=-1.5
7=-6(-1.5)+b
7=9-2
