2(x4) = 35 - (7-4x)
+4x
2(x8)= 28
/2 /2
8x = 14
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 28 things in the jar, of which 7 are watermelon.
You pick one at random, the chance it is NOT watermelon would be 21/28.
This is equal to 75% and 3/4
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
