Amy read 8 more books than ben read. how many books did ben read

(x+8)-x

Step-by-step explanation:

if amy is 8 more than ben

we dont know ben, so he is x

you have to subtract ben from amy

so amy is 8 more than ben, you have to add 8 to ben, who is x

Answer :

Ben read X books

Amy read X+8 books

Step-by-step explanation: so ,

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
