There are 864 Mystery books, 124 science fiction books and 72 Romance books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of new books ordered is 1060.

Let the number of romance books ordered to be x

So the number of mystery books ordered will be 12x

The number of science fiction books will be x+52

Expression for total number of books will be;

x+12x+x+52=1060

14x+52=1060

14x=1060-52

14x=1008

x=1008/14

x=72 books

So, for;

Mystery book, 12x= 12*72= 864 books

Science Fiction books= x+52= 72+52 = 124 books

Romance books=x ,=72 books
