Answer:
Number pencils Ava bought = 2
Explanation:
Price of pen = 2 $
Price of pencil = 1 $
Total money spent = 12 $
Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.
2 a + b = 12 -----------------------------------Equation 1
We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils
a - b = 3 -------------------------------------- Equation 2
Equation 1 +Equation 2,
2 a + b + a - b = 12 + 3
3a = 15
a = 5
Substituting in equation 2
5 - b = 3
b = 2
Number pencils Ava bought = 2
To find a common denominator you have to find a number that both can be divided by in this case, 15. So both can be set to 15. However the numerators must also be changed. Since 15 divided by 5 is 3, the numerator 2 should be multiplied by 3 to get 6. Then since 15 can be divided by 3 to 5, you multiply 5 to the numerator 1 to get 5.
Then do
6/15 - 5/15 to get 1/15
Hope you could get an idea from here.

and solve for y
14.87
Step-by-step explanation:
use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
C being the longest side of the triangle
14^2+5^2=C^2
196+25=C^2
221=C^
find the square root of 221
C=14.866
rounded to nearest tenth
C=14.87
