Barney's book store currently has 2000 books in stock. there are 3 times as many non-fiction books as fiction books. determine the number of non-fiction and fiction books currently in the store.

There are 1500 non fiction books and 500 fiction books currently in the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Number of books = 2000

Let the number of fiction books be 'x'.

Now given:

There are 3 times as many non-fiction books as fiction books.

Number of non fiction books =

We need to find the number of non-fiction and fiction books.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Total Number of books is equal to sum of the number of non-fiction and fiction books.

framing in equation form we get;

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

Number of fiction books = 500

Number of non fiction books =

Hence There are 1500 non fiction books and 500 fiction books currently in the store.

no

step-by-step explanation:

2-7=-5

7-2=5

when you combing like terms for ech expression, 5 and -5. these numbers are not equal to each other.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
