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;

Please help im not very sure what any of this means
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

∠JKH and ∠GHF

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>hey there,</em>

<em />

< Corresponding means "the angles which occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. If the two lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal." The lines here are parallel so they are equal.

If you don't understand the meaning of the angles also, feel free to ask me about that too.

The two angles I listed are equal to equal to each other. When you look at the other options, they aren't equal, they might look less or more degrees.

If this won't be a multiple choice but short answer, try looking at angles that look similar and see if they would be able to match with the angle given. >

<u>Hope this helps! Feel free to ask anything else.</u>

Can anyone help me with this it would be great.

Answer:

11. The student put 24 as the diameter instead of the radius.

12. 48 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the circumference of a circle is c = pi x diameter.

However, the question says that the radius is 24m, not the diameter.

To fix it, all you need to to is double the radius to get 48m for the diameter.

48 x pi = 48 pi

Which point is a solution to the system of inequalities below?
vodomira [7]

The ordered pair which is a solution to the given inequality is: C. (2, 1).

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality can be defined as a mathematical relation that compares two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation based on any of the following arguments:

  • Less than (<).
  • Greater than (>).
  • Less than or equal to (≤).
  • Greater than or equal to (≥).

Next, we would test the ordered pair with the given inequality to determine a solution as follows:

For ordered pair (4, 4), we have:

3x + 2y < 15

3(4) + 2(4) < 15

12 + 8 < 15

20 < 15 (False).

For ordered pair (3, 3), we have:

3x + 2y < 15

3(3) + 2(3) < 15

9 + 6 < 15

15 < 15 (False).

7x - 4y > 9

7(3) - 4(3) > 9

21 - 12 > 9

9 > 9 (False)

For ordered pair (2, 1), we have:

3x + 2y < 15

3(2) + 2(1) < 15

6 + 2 < 15

8 < 15 (True).

7x - 4y > 9

7(2) - 4(1) > 9

14 - 4 > 9

10 > 9 (True)

For ordered pair (1, 0), we have:

3x + 2y < 15

3(1) + 2(0) < 15

3 + 0 < 15

3 < 15 (True).

7x - 4y > 9

7(1) - 4(0) > 9

7 - 4 > 9

3 > 9 (False)
