Elliot has a total of 26 books. He has 12 more fiction books than nonfiction books. Let x represent the number of fiction books

and y represent the number of nonfiction books.
The system of equations models the total costs for each.
x + y = 26
x – y = 12
Elliot added the two equations and the result was
2x = 38.
Solve the equation. How many of each type of book does Elliot have?

<u>Answers</u>

19 fiction books

7 nonfiction books


<u>Explanation</u>

x + y = 26  ............................................. (i)

x – y = 12  ............................................ (ii)

Elliot added the two equations and the result was

2x = 38.

Dividing both sides by 2;

x = 19

There are 19 fiction books.

Substituting x in equation (i),

x + y = 26             when x = 19

19 + y = 26

y = 26 - 19

   = 7

There are 7 nonfiction books

ohaa [14]

Answer:

D. Obtain a cluster sample by randomly selecting 20 counties and visiting every restaurant within those counties.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this executive wants to minimize cost and expenses he should use a cluster sample of 20 counties and using the selected counties as a representative of the whole. Cluster sampling is a good and useful way of doing market research. It is more economical than other sampling methods and as the executive cannot get information on the whole population, he would be able to get information from the clusters.

A has the coordinates (–4, 3) and B has the coordinates (4, 4). If DO,1/2(x, y) is a dilation of △ABC, what is true about the im
fomenos
A dilation is a transformation D_{o,k}(x,y), with center O and a scale factor of k that is not zero, that maps O to itself and any other point P to P'. The center O is a fixed point, P' is the image of P, points O, P and P' are on the same line.

In a dilation of D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y), the scale factor, \frac{1}{2} is mapping the original figure to the image in such a way that the distances from O to the vertices of the image are half the distances from O to the original figure. Also the size of the image is half the size of the original figure.

Therefore, <span>If D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y) is a dilation of △ABC, the truth about the image △A'B'C'</span> are:

<span>AB is parallel to A'B'.

D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y)=( \frac{1}{2}x,  \frac{1}{2}y)

The distance from A' to the origin is half the distance from A to the origin.</span>
