Answer:

5 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Pn and Pl stand for the number of packs of pens (Pn) and pencils (Pl) purchased.

We know that each pack of pens is $3 and each pack of pencils is $2.50.

We are also told that Pn + Pl = 13  [In total, 13 packs were purchased].

And we're told that $35 was spent.

The $35 must equal:  $3*Pn + $2.5*Pl  [the sum of the number of packs of each times the price per pack for each]

 3*Pn + 2.5*Pl = 35

Rearrange the first equation:

Pn + Pl = 13

Pn = 13 - Pl

Use this definition of Pn in the second equation:

3*Pn + 2.5*Pl = 35

3*(13 - Pl) + 2.5*Pl = 35

39 - 3Pl + 2.5Pl = 35

-0.5Pl = -4

Pl = 8

8 packs of pencils (Pl) were purchased.

This means the packs of pens purchased must be 5, since a total of 13 packs were purchased.

Check:

Does 5 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils total $35?

5*($3) + 8*($2.5) = $35  ??

$15 + $20 = $35  ?

YES

You bought  5 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils.

Question not well presented

Point S is on line segment RT . Given RS = 4x − 10, ST=2x−10, and RT=4x−4, determine the numerical length of RS

Answer:

The numerical length of RS is 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

RS = 4x − 10

ST=2x−10

RT=4x−4

From the question above:

Point S lies on |RT|

So, RT = RS + ST

Substitute values for each in the above equation to solve for x

4x - 4 = 4x - 10 + 2x - 10 --- collect like terms

4x - 4 = 4x + 2x - 10 - 10

4x - 4 = 6x - 20--- collect like terms

6x - 4x = 20 - 4

2x = 16 --- divide through by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8

Since, RS = 4x − 10

RS = 4*8 - 10

RS = 32 - 10

RS = 22

Hence, the numerical length of RS is calculated as 22

Answer:

Area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2. The formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is easiest to just break it down into two triangles and 1 square/rectangle. Then just find the area of all then add them together to get the final area.
