Let c and n represent the numbers of pencil and pen boxes, respectively
.. 3c +2n = 6.00
.. 2c +4n = 8.00

You can halve the second equation and subtract it from the first to get
.. (3c +2n) -(c +2n) = 6.00 -4.00
.. 2c = 2.00
.. c = 1.00

Then
.. 1.00 +2n = 4.00 . . . . . half the original second equation with c filled n
.. 2n = 3.00
.. n = 1.50

A box of pencils costs $1.00; a box of pens costs $1.50.

Galina-37 [17]
The area would be (x+3) (4x-1) which is 4x^2 +11x -3. The perimeter is 2(x+3) plus 2(4x-1) which is 2x +6 plus 8x-2 which is 10x +4. If x=7 then the perimeter is 74 ft.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point -3/5 and has a slope of -2
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

y = -2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

slope = m

y = -2x + b

5 = -2x * -3 + b

5 = 6 + b

-1 = b

y = -2x - 1

Let me know if I'm wrong :)
