Answer:

n=6 u=28/3

Step-by-step explanation:

system of equations

The number of used books sold will be 7 and that of the new book will be 9.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Given

Number of used books = u

Number of new books  = v

In the first case;

12u + 4n =  136

In the second case;

28u + 4n = 248

By both equations,

u = 7 and n = 9

So the number of used books is 7 and the new is 9.
