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

Virty [35]

Answer: 286 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

x : # of months that has gone by

0.24x : cost of the 24 cent plan after "x" minutes

39.95 + 0.10x : cost of the 10 cent plan after "x" minutes

1. 39.95 + 0.10x > 0.24x

2. 39.95 > 0.24x - 0.10x

3. 39.95 > 0.14x

4. 285.36 > x

x must be AT LEAST 286 minutes for plan #2 (39.95 + 0.10x) to be a better deal

write the point slope form of the equation for a line that passes through the point 3, 1 and is parallel to the line y=3x+3
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

y=3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel to y=3x+3, that would mean that they would have the same slope of 3. Then, once you plug it back into the equation along with the point given, you would get 1=3(3)+b. Solve from there, and you get b= -8. In conclusion, your point slope formula comes out to be y=3x-8.

Hope this helps! :)
