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.

I need help. how do i write 4=(-8)+3x as a decimal
Vanyuwa [196]
This is an equation, you can't write equations as decimals. I think you're asking for x (as a decimal)?

Add 8 to each side: 4+8= 8+(-8)+3x
12=3x
x=4
This is a whole number so it's already in decimal form

I NEED HELP ASAP PLZZZZ
KonstantinChe [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We just subsitue 3 for x and -4 for y, so we get

3(3) - 5( - 4) = 9 + 20 = 29

So

a = 29

7(3) + ( - 4) = b

21 - 4 = 17

b = 17
