Luckily for us, this problem solved the bulk of its own question!


Now, all we have to do is solve for "x", or the amount of fiction books and plug its value back into the original equation to find the value of "y", or the amount of nonfiction books.


2x = 38

x = 19

There are 19 fiction books.

x + y = 26

19 + y = 26

y = 7

There are 7 nonfiction books.

Hope this helps!

As her brother travel as 60 mph ,so he travel at ( 60 - 45 )= 15 mph faster

siniylev [52]

If the adjusted ratio was 2:7, then

2x is the number of pull-ups

and

7x is the number of box jumps.

You can state that since he completed 63 box jumps at the end of his training, then

7x=63,

x=9

and

2x=18.

The total number of exercises performed is 2x+9x=18+63=81.

As at start the ratio was 5:4, then

5y was the number of pull-ups

and

4y was the number of box jumps.

Therefore, 5y+4y=81,

9y=81,

y=9

and 5y=45, 4y=36.

Answer: Initially: 45 pull-ups and 36 box jumps. At the end: 18 pull-ups and 63 box jumps.
