Answer:

200 pencils and 120 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pencils be x while pens be y.

Considering the cost of whole purchase then, we get the equation

0.5x+y=220

Considering the number of items bought, then the equation is

x-y=80

Adding the two equations then we have

1.5x=300

x=300/1.5=200

Consideeing that x-y=80 and x is 200 then

200-y=80

y=200-80=120

Therefore, the pencils were 200 and pens 120 pieces

What is the length of side AC of the triangle? Pls hurry
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the first triangle inequality theorem, the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must add up to more than the length of the third side. This means that you cannot draw a triangle that has side lengths 2, 7 and 12, for instance, since 2 + 7 is less than 12.

Question 1 of 10
Zanzabum

Answer:

A: 40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since every triangle is 180 degrees, you can start off by subtracting 50 from 180 since that side does not contain a y for you to solve.

Since the other two sides do have a y in them, you would set 130 degrees equal to y+10 and 2y:

130=y+10+2y

Then you would isolate the y's by subtracting 10, and you would add y and 2y together to get:

120=3y

Finally, you would divide 120 by 3 to get your answer, 40=y.

Hope this helps!
