Answer:
y = 3n where y is the number of books owned by Jamie which is equal to 42
Step-by-step explanation:
If Jamie owns about 3 times as many books as Carly. It means that the number of books owned by Jamie is a function of the number of books owned by Carly.
If Carly owns n number of books, and Jamie owns y number of books then,
y = 3n
If Jamie owns 42 books then Carly owns
42 = 3n
n = 42/3
n = 14
Carly owns 14 books
