Answer:

4 pencil & 2 ruler = $8

2 pencil & 4 ruler = $10

let the no. of Pencil be X and no. of ruler be Y

4x + 2y = 8

2x + 4y= 10

solving the equation by elimination method,

multiplying eq 2 with 2

4x + 2y = 8

4x + 8y = 20

subtracting,

- 6 y = -12

y = 2

2x + 4(2)= 10

2x + 8 = 10

2x = 10 - 8

2x = 2

x = 1

Cost of 3 ruler + 3 pencil

= 3(1) + 3(2)

= 3 + 6

= 9

Answer:

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

pencil - p

ruler - r

4p + 2r = 8

2p + 4r = 10

4p + 2r = 8 {finding p in terms of r so we can substitiute it}

    - 2r    -2r

4p = 8 - 2r

÷ 2      ÷2

2p = 4 - r  {now, we can replace "2p" in our other equation}

2p + 4r = 10 becomes...

[4 - r] + 4r = 10

4 - r + 4r = 10

4 + 3r = 10

- 4        -4

    3r = 6

  ÷3    ÷3

    r = 2

when we have 4 pencils and 2 rulers, we have:

4p + 2[2] = 8

4p + 4 = 8

     -4     -4

4p = 4

÷4      ÷ 4

p = 1

{checking with our other equation:

p = 1 ; r = 2

2p + 4r = 10

2[1] + 4[2] = 10

2 + 8 = 10

10 = 10

TRUE STATEMENT;

confirms our variables}

so , we have found that the cost of a pencil is $1, and the cost of a ruler is $2,

p = 1 ; r = 2

so, let's solve our original problem:

3 rulers + 3 pencils = ?

3(2) + 3(1) = ?

6 + 3 = 9

so, the cost of this combination would be $9

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)

David uses 1/2 cup of apple juice for every 1/4 cup of cranberry juice to make a fruit drink. Enter the number of cups of apple
mario62 [17]

Answer:

2 cups of apple juice

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get one cup of cranberry juice, you would need to add the ratio, 1/4, four times. Since for every 1/4 cup of cranberry juice there is 1/2 cup of apple juice, add 1/2 four times

1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 4/2 = 2 cups
