Usama needs to read 6 novels each month. Let N be the number of novels Usama needs to read in M months.
Write an equation relating N to M. Then use this equation to find the number of novels Usama needs to read in 13 months.

78 novels

Step-by-step explanation:

N= novels

M= month

6N = 1M

? = 13M

6N × 13M= 78NM

78NM ÷ 1M

cancel M, therefore;

the number of novels Usama needs to read in 13 months is 78.

78 novels

Step-by-step explanation:

=N ˣ M

=6 ˣ 13

=78

step-by-step explanation:

the orientation of the parabolas can easily be found by analysing the power of x and y and their signs. if x is squared , parabola opens up and also if its coefficient is negative it opens down. if y is squared , the parabola opens right and also if its coefficient is negative it opens left. however in order to do the above analysis our equation must be in standard form .

our parabola is

which is not standard form of any parabola . hence we square on both hand side and convert it into standard form.

hence we see that x is squared and its coefficient is non negative . there for it opens up.
