The number of hardback books that are on the bookshelf is 29 books.

  • Let the total number of books be T.
  • Let the number of hardback books be H.
  • Let the number of paperback books be P.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Total number of books = 36 books

To determine the number of hardback books that are on the bookshelf:

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

The total number of books is:

T = H+P

The number of hardback books is 15 more than <u>twice</u> the number of paperback books:

H =2P+15

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

36 = 2P+15+P\\\\36=3P+15\\\\3P=36-15\\\\3P=21\\\\P=\frac{21}{3}

P = 7 books

For number of hardback books:

H =2P+15\\\\H=2(7)+15\\\\H=14+15

H = 29 books

Answer:

When we have something like:

\sqrt[n]{x}

It is called the n-th root of x.

Where x is called the radicand, and n is called the index.

Then the term:

\sqrt[4]{16}

is called the fourth root of 16.

And in this case, we can see that the index is 4, and the radicand is 16.

At the end, we have the question: what is the 4th root of 16?

this is:

\sqrt[4]{16} = \sqrt[4]{4*4}  = \sqrt[4]{2*2*2*2} = 2

The 4th root of 16 is equal to 2.

Violet made cookies for the bake sale. 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip. 3/4 of the remaining cookies are sugar. What frac
FromTheMoon [43]
We know that 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip, so that means there are 3/10 of the cookies left.
We now want to find what 3/4 of 3/10 is.
We can do this by multiplying both fractions
3/4x3/10 (we just multiply across) to get 9/40.
We cannot simplify this answer, so our final answer is 9/40 of the cookies are sugar cookies.
