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

What is 6/a-6 = 3/a-3 ?<br> help me please
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply all terms by a and cancel:

6+−6a=3+−3a

−6a+6=−3a+3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−6a+6+3a=−3a+3+3a(Add 3a to both sides)

−3a+6=3

−3a+6−6=3−6(Subtract 6 from both sides)

−3a=−3

−3a

−3

=

−3

−3

(Divide both sides by -3)

a=1

Explain how they are different AND the same
True [87]

Proportional and linear functions are almost identical in form. The only difference is the addition of the “b” constant to the linear function. Indeed, a proportional relationship is just a linear relationship where b = 0, or to put it another way, where the line passes through the origin
