We have been given that Jasmine has 5 books and she wants to read the nonfiction book first and the mystery book last. It means that the time of reading of 2 books are fixed. Now she has 3 books which she needs to arrange.

Now, we know that n different things can be arranged in n! ways. We can use this concept to find the number of different orders can she read the books.

Using the above concept, 3 books can be arranged in 3! ways.

Therefore, there are 6 different orders in which she can read the books.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
