Answer:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

Joshua sells a pack of pens for 3.15 which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. which equation will help find x, the amount he pays for a pack of pens? how many solutions will this equation have? x+0.05x=3.15, which has infinitely many solutions x+0.5x=3.15, which has one solution x+0.05×=3.15 which has one solution 0.05×=3.15, which has no solution

Let

x= the amount Joshua pays for a pack of pen

5% of x more than he paid for them

=0.05x more

Buying price=0.05x + x

Selling price=3.15

Equate buying and selling price

0.05x + x = 3.15

1.05x=3.15

Divide both sides by 1.05

1.05x / 1.05 = 3.15/1.05

x=3

The equation is 0.05x+x=3.15

The answer is:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

R = (- 3.5, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Section formula

x_{R} = \frac{3(4)+5(-8)}{3+5} = \frac{12-40}{8} = \frac{-28}{8} = - 3.5

y_{R} = \frac{3(-2)+5(-10)}{3+5} = \frac{-6-50}{8} = \frac{-56}{8} = - 7

Thus coordinates of R = (- 3.5, - 7 )
