Answer:

8 books

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the ratio between 6 and 9

6/9 = 2/3

The ratio is 2/3

Now for James's case his denominator would be 12

x/12

To find the numerator you need to multiply the denominator by 2/3

12 * 2/3 = 8

There you go, the numerator is your answer

8 books and 12 pencils

Hope this helps :)

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

C. c^{2} = b^{2}-a^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem express that right-angled triangles (see Figure) are described by the following expression:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} (Choice D)

Where:

a, b - Legs

c - Hypotenuse

Equivalent forms of the equation are, respectively:

a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2} (Choice A)

b^{2} = c^{2} - a^{2} (Choice B)

The choice C is not equivalent to the Pythagorean Theorem.
