Answer:

Total number of Hardcover books is TWO while the number of Paperback books is FIVE

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of hardcover book = x

No. of paperback book = y

Cost of one hardcover book = $8

Cost of one paperback book = $5 We are given that:

x+y=7 (Equation 1)

8x+5y=41 (Equation 2)

We can find out value of x and y by solving both equations simultaneously.

Hence, Total number of Hardcover books is TWO while the number of Paperback books is FIVE

The quotient of a number and five is eight less than the number. What is the number?
UNO [17]
The number is 10.
x/5 = x-8
You multiply both sides by 5.
x = 5(x-8)
x = 5x-40
Subtract 5x from both sides
-4x = -40
x= -40 / -4
x=10
