Provided that you have learnt simultaneous/ substitution
Let x and y be the number of non fiction bo and fiction books respectively.
4(x-6) = 3(y-3)
4x-24 = 3y-9
4x - 15 = 3y ... (1)
5x = 3y ... (2)
Substitute (2) into (1)
5x = 4x - 15
X =15
Substitute x=15 into (2)
5(15) = 3y
Y= 25
There are 15 non-fiction books and 25 fiction books.

The word 'of' tells us that the operation is multiplication.
Your answer should be in simplest form.
