11x represents the fiction
X represents the nonfiction book

11x+x=312
12x=312
Divide both by 12
X=26

To find the fiction you have to do 11 times 26

11•26=286

To check the answer you add 286 and 26

If it adds up to 312 the answer is correct

Mark has 312 books in his bookcases. He has 11 times as many fiction as nonfiction books. How many fiction books does Mark have?
