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;

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

0=(x+2)^2-25

+25 +25

25=(x+2)^2

Square root both sides to get:

5=x+2

Find the solution set of this equation.<br> y^2-11y=0 <br> separate the two values with a comma.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

0,11

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2-11y=0

y(y-11)=0 we have transformed the equation into a product

a product can be zero only if one of the factors is 0

so the two solutions are

y=0

and y-11=0  y=11

Solve for x <br><br> Please help
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Alternate interior angles measure the same

       10x - 10° = 100°

       10x = 100° + 10°

        10x = 110°

           x = 110° / 10°

           x = 11°

2) Alternate exterior angles measure the same

       x + 99° = 90°

       x = 90° - 99°

       x = -9°

3) Supplementary angles measure 180°

       (6x + 12) + (14x + 8) = 180°

        6x + 12 + 14x + 8 = 180°

        20x + 20 = 180

        20x = 180 - 20

        20x = 160

            x = 160 / 20

            x = 8

4)  Alternate exterior angles measure the same

           26x + 1 = 131°

            26x = 131° - 1°

            26x = 130°

            x = 130° / 26°

            x = 5

5) Consecutive interior angles measure 180°

             x + 100 + 85° = 180°

             x + 185 = 180

            x = 180 - 185

              x = -5

             

6) Corresponding angles measure the same

            7x - 7 = 70

            7x = 70 + 7

            7x = 77

              x = 77 / 7

              x = 11

7) Supplementary angles measure 180°

            (12x + 8) + (100°) = 180°

              12x + 8 + 100 = 180

              12x + 108 = 180

              12x = 180 - 108

              12x = 72

                  x = 72 / 12

                  x = 6

8) Consecutive interior angles measure 180°

              18x + 8x - 2 = 180°

              26x = 180 + 2

               26x = 182

                   x = 182 / 26

                   x = 7

9) Corresponding angles measure the same

               27x + 7 = 28x + 3

              27x - 28x = 3 - 7

              -1x = -4

                x = -4/-1

                x = 4

10) Consecutive interior angles measure 180°

              (x + 107) + (x + 87) = 180

               x + 107 + x + 87 =  180

               2x + 194 = 180

               2x = 180 - 194

               2x = -14

                 x = -14 / 2

                 x = -7

A penny weighs about 0.1 oz. how much is a pound of pennies worth
Lelu [443]
<span>1.       </span><span>A penny weighs about 0.1 oz.
Now, we need to find the weights of pennies in pounds
=> always remember that in every 1 oz, there is 0.0625 pounds.
Since 0.1 is 1/10 of 1 oz, we need to find the value of it in pounds.
=>  0.0625 pounds / 10
=> 0.0625 pounds.
Therefore, in 0.1 oz of  penny is equivalent to 0.00625 pounds.
In problem like this, before determining the answer, you need to make sure that both unit of measurements are the same. If not, then try to convert.</span>
