Question
Answer:
Translate every statement into algebraic language.1) hardcover books for $8 each
- name h the number of hardcover books
- amount of sale from hardcover books = 8h
2) paperbacks for $4 each
- namel p the number from paperback books
- amount of sale of paperbacks = 4p
3) the number of hardcover books, h, sold one day was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold that same day.
-Β h = 2 + 4p
4) the total amount of sales for that day was $160.
- 8h + 4p = 160
6) system of equations
h = 2 + 4p
8h + 4p = 160
5) Jean-Paul wrote the following system of linear equations to find the number of each type of book sold,
8H+4P=160
P=4H+2 <---------- here is the error. This means that number of paperback books sold was 2 more than four times the number of hardcover books sold, when the right statement is that the number of hardcover book sold was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold.
