Shelf a had 40 books and shelf b had 16 books. after katrina borrowed an equal number of books from shelf a and shelf b, there were 3 times as many books on shelf a than shelf b. how many books did katrina borrow altogether?

8 books; 4 from each shelf

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent equal number of books from each shelf

from shelf A = 40 -x

from shelf B = 16 -x

shelf A has 3 times as many books than shelf B

3(16- x) = 40 -x

48 -3x = 40 -x

48 - 40 = -x + 3x

8 = 2x

x = 4

altogether she borrowed 4 + 4 = 8 books

i can you answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
