6j + 1/3n = 134
1/3j + n = 31.....n = 31 - 1/3j

6j + 1/3(31 - 1/3j) = 134
6j + 31/3 - 1/9j = 134
6j - 1/9j = 134 - 31/3
54/9j - 1/9j = 402/3 - 31/3
53/9j = 371/3
j = 371/3 * 9/53
j = 1113/53
j = 21

n = 31 - 1/3j
n = 31 - 1/3(21)
n = 31 - 7
n = 24

so Jason (j) has 21 books and Nathan (n) has 24 books

Paul owns a gym and needs to replace the carpeting on the floor. The gym's floor plan is shown.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

<em>24 square yards</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached.

The area of the diagram = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle

Area of rectangle = 3 * 4

Area of rectangle = 12 square yards

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Area of triangle = 1/2 * 6 * 4

Area of triangle = 12 square yards

Area of the diagram = 12 + 12

Area of diagram =  24 square yards

<em>Hence 24 square yards of carpeting is needed</em>

What is the percent of increase in the rent for Bob's apartment if it went from $560 to $616?
son4ous [18]

This is a two step problem. First, you need to find the difference (or increase) in the rent using subtraction.

616-560 = $56 increase

Now we need to figure what percent 56 is to the original amount (560)

We voice it like this:

56 is to 560 as x is to 100.

The equation looks like this:

56/560 - x/100

Cross multiply to cancel out the denominators.

56 x 100 = 560 x

5600 = 560 x

x = 10 percent.

Check it!

What is 10 percent of 560?

560 x .1 = $56

Was that your increase? ... yes.

5 1/2 feet tall because the shadow is 1 foot shorter and so must the person be 1 foot shorter
