X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
y=5, x=7 because if 3x5=15 then 15-7=8 dont report me if i do get this wrong
Answer:
10x - 5 / 4
Step-by-step explanation:
15 - ( -10x ) - 20 / ( 12 + ( -8 ) )
= ( -5 ) + 10x / ( 4 )
= 10x - 5 / 4

Answer:
1:5 simplifies
