    After 1850, number of books published with leather cover is 16 books

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total number of book collection = 80 books

    number of books with leather cover = 34 books

    Before 1850,

    number of books published with leather cover = 18 books

    After 1850,

    number of books published without covers = 42 books

    number of books published with leather cover = x

    number of books without cover = 80 - 34

    = 46 books

    number of books with leather cover = Before 1850, number of books published with leather cover + After 1850, number of books published with leather cover

    34 = 18 + x

    x = 34 - 18

    =16 books
