Answer:
The system of equations are
x+y=557

The total pages in shorter book is 245
The total pages in longer book is 312
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Scott has read 407 of the total number of 557 pages, which
of the shorter book and
of longer book.
Total number of pages of shorter book be x and longer book be y.
Then,
page of the shorter book 
pages of the longer book = 
So, he has read 
Total number of pages of both book is = x+y
According to the problem,
x+y=557.........(1)
.......(2)
We can write equation (2) as



......(3)
Now 18 times of equation (1) subtract from equation (3)
18x+25y=12210
18x+18y=10026
- - -
_______________
25y-18y=12,210-10,026
⇒7y=2,184

⇒y= 312
Plug y=312 in equation (1)
x+312=557
⇒x=557-312
⇒x=245
The total pages in shorter book is 245
The total pages in longer book is 312
<h2>Volume</h2>
The volume of geyser 2 is 768000cm³. if 1000 cm³= 1 litre convert the volume of geyser 2 to liters
- To convert cm to liters divide the volume by 1000
Therefore, 768000 cubic centimeters in liters is 768.

Step One
Begin by getting one side of the question equal to zero.
32x -4 = 4x^2 + 60 Add - 32x + 4 from both sides.
0 = 4x^2 + 60 - 32x + 4 Collect like terms.
0 = 4x^2 - 32x + 64
Step Two
For this question, you could divide both sides by 4. It just makes the steps later on easier.
0 = x^2 - 8x + 16
Step Three
Calculate the discriminate.
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
a = 1; b = -8; c = 16
b^2 - 4*a*c = (-8)^2 - 4*(1)(16) = 64 - 64 = 0
There is only 1 root. It is real and it is rational.
