Let:
x = Chemistry textbooks sold
y = Physics textbooks sold
The textbook store sold a combined total of 260, so:
The number of chemistry books sold was three times the number of physics textbooks sold, so:
Let:
Replace (2) into (1):
Replace the value of y into (2):
Use a conversion factor and turn pounds to ounces. 1 pound = 16 ounces so
Answer:
BC=11
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to find BC
and we know that
AB= x+2
AC=13
BC=2x+11
A, B and C are collinear
that means that
AB+BC=AC
x+2+2x+11=13
3x+13=13
3x=0
x=0
so BC=2(0)+11
BC=11
