There approximately 7133 books in the library;

Data;

  • Let the number of total books = x
  • Number of fictional books = 3/4x

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

To solve this problem, we simply need to use an equation to explain the word problem into mathematical statements.

Let the total number of books be represented by x

The number of fictional books = 3/4x

After 592 fictional books were donated;

\frac{3x}{4} + 592 = \frac{5}{6}x

Let collect like terms and solve

\frac{3x}{4} +592 = \frac{5}{6} x\\\frac{5}{6}x - \frac{3x}{4} = 592\\ 0.083x=592\\x = 592/0.083\\x = 7132.53

There approximately 7133 books in the library;

Which of the following equations is equivalent to S=pi r^2 h
lara31 [8.8K]

The equation that is equivalent to S=pi r^2 h is h = S/pir^2

<h3>Subject of formula</h3>

This is a way of representing a variable with another. Given the equation

S=pi r^2 h

We are to make 'h" the subject of the formula.

Divide both sides by pir^2

S/pir^2 =pi r^2 h/pir^2

h = S/pir^2

Hence the equation that is equivalent to S=pi r^2 h is h = S/pir^2

Answer:

Step 3, because the solution should also include all the values for x between the two given values

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we have

y_1=\left|x-4\right|

y2=1

step 2

The graph in the given problem

step 3

Identify the solution when y1\leq y2

so

\left|x-4\right|\le1

using a graphing tool

The solution is the interval  -----> [3,5]

see the attached figure

All real numbers greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 5

therefore

The first step in which the student made an error is step 3
