The number of books the library holds before it received the grant is 17,312 books

Let the original number of books in the library be x

  • If the State Library received a three-year grant to add 69,678 books to their collection, the total number of books will be x + 69,678

  • If during a used book sale, the library sold 430 books, the remaining books will be (x+69,678) - 430 = x + 69,248

If the collection  now is five times more than the original number of books, then;

x + 69,248 = 5x

5x - x = 69,248

4x = 69,248

x = 69,248 /4

x = 17,312

Hence the number of books the library holds before it received the grant is 17,312 books

Simplify the rational expression:<br> 5y+5/2 ÷ 25y-20/40y²-32y
NNADVOKAT [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Your problem → 5y+5/2 / 25y-20/40y^2-32y

5y+5/2÷25y-20/40y^2-32y

=5⋅y+5/2÷25×y-20/40×y^2-32×y

=5y+5/2÷25×y-20/40×y^2-32y

=5y+5/2×1/25×y-20/40×y^2-32y

=5y+y/10-20/40×y^2-32y

=5y+y/10-y^2/2-32y

=5y×10+y-y^2×5-32y×10 ÷ 10

=50y+y-5y2-320y ÷ 10

= -269y-5y^2 / 10

To make 6 apples pie, you need 2 pounds of apples. How many pounds of apples do you need to make 10 apple pies?
Bezzdna [24]
For every 6 apple pie, you need 2 pounds of apples.
So, how many pounds of apples do you need for 10 apple pies?
Well, first to figure out this question we first need to make a conversion factor.
I see in the fraction 6/3 we can simplify that to 2/1. Now we got our conversion factor.
We need to invert the fraction in order for the pie unit to cancel out.
1/2 * 10 = 5

You will need 5 pounds of apples to make 10 apple pies.

the sum of three numbers is 144. the third number is 4 times the first. the second number is 6 more than the first. what are the
Law Incorporation [45]
First I would change the descriptions of the numbers into expressions.

first number is n
second number is n + 6
third number is 4n (4 x n)

Then you would insert these expressions into an equation and isolate n.

n + n + 6 + 4n = 144
n + n + 4n = 144 - 6
6n = 138
n = 138/6
n = 23

Lastly, you would plug in this value into all of the expressions.

first number is 23
second number is 23 + 6 = 29
third number is 4(23) = 92

Therefore, the numbers are 23, 29, and 92.
