There are three times as many fiction books as non-fiction books in a library. 120 fiction and 24 non-fiction books are loaned out. There are now twice as many non-fiction books as fiction books. How many books were in the library? How do I work this out step by step?

672

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the number of non-fiction books as x, the number of fiction books would be 3x. Therefore: we can write the following equation:

3x - 120 = 2(x - 24)  ← the 3x - 120 and x - 24 represents the new number of books

3x - 120 = 2x - 48

x - 120 = 48

x = 168 which means 3x = 3 * 168 = 504, therefore the total number of books is 168 + 504 = 672.

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
