All this proof is essentially asking is to formally present and justify the work you'd normally to do solve for a. I'll go through the steps informally first, and then I'll justify them in the following part.

-6a-5=-95\\ -6a=-90\\ a=15

Our reason for the first line here would be given; they provide the statement for us at the beginning.

To obtain the second line, we add 5 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -5 term on the left side; here, we're using the addition property of equality, which states that you adding the same number to both sides of an equation doesn't change its equality.

Finally, we <span>divide both sides by -6 </span>to find that a= \frac{-90}{-6} =15. The property we use here is predictably called the division property of equality, and it states that dividing both sides of the equation by the same number doesn't change the equality. At this point, we've reached our conclusion and justified our steps, so we're done. Here's the completed proof:

Statement: -6a-5=-95 Reason: Given
Statement: -6a=-90 Reason: Addition property of equality
Statement: a=15 Reason: Division property of equality

Answer:

  $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.

Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.

The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.

  (8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)

  -4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)

The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.

One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.

It would cost $105 because if you do 13+13+13= 39
22+22+22= 66
66+39= 105.
