Answer:

notebook: $2.5

pen: $1.5

part B, he can buy 3 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

A

let the cost of notebook be n, cost of pen be p

1. 4n + 3p = 14.5

2. 5n + 6p = 21.5

by 1, you can get 3p = 14.5 - 4n, put it into 2

5n + 2(14.5 - 4n) = 21.5

5n + 29 - 8n = 21.5

3n = 29 - 21.5 = 7.5

n = 2.5

put n = 2.5 into 1

4(2.5) + 3p = 14.5

3p = 4.5

p = 1.5

B

Waseem buy 3 notebooks for each pen, let number of pen be m, then the number of notebook will be 3m

m(2.5) + 3m(1.5) < 27

2.5m + 4.5m = 7m < 27

m < 27/7

maximum integer value for m = 3

Felipe is planning a party. He has $50.00 to spend on sandwiches that cost $2.50 per person, $25.00 to spend on drinks that cost
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Its B

Step-by-step explanation:

In all, he has $100 to spend since $50+$25+$25=$100. We have x people coming and he has to spend $2.50, $1.50, and $3.00 per person, respectively. The phrase "per person" indicates we must multiply, so we have to multiply each value by "x." To find out how much money he has left, we must subtract. All of this put together is 100-(2.50x+1.50x+3.00x). Add the like terms and you get 7x. Your final expression would be 100-7x, which is answer choice b.

Y=2x+1
yan [13]

Answer:

(1) 2 (2) (-1/2,0) (3) (0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is the number times x. This equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, m is 2, so we have our slope. The y-intercept is easy, as we already know it to be (0,1). The x-intercept is the point where the line hits x when y=0. To solve for the x-intercept, we set y to 0 and solve. We have 0=2x+1. First, we subtract 1 from both sides and get -1=2x. Next, to get x by itself, divide both sides by 2. Now we have -1/2=x. Now we have our x coordinate for our x-intercept. Because of this, we get (-1/2,0) as our x-intercept.
