Answer:

Notebook is $4

Thumb drive is $23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let notebooks be x and thumb drives be y

6x+7y=$185

14x+12y=$332

These two are simultaneous equation. Multiplying the first equation by 7 and second by 3 we obtain

42x+49y=$1295

42x+36y=$996

Subtracting the third equation from the fourth

996-1295=-$299

(36-49)y=-23y

-23y=-$299

y=$299/13=$23

To get the value of x, we substitute the value of y into the first equation

6x+(7*23)=$185

6x=$185-$161

6x=$24

x=$4

Therefore, price of notebook is $4, price of thumb drive is $23

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

98

Step-by-step explanation:

ABSOLUTE BRACKETS MEAN ABSOLUTE VALUE- this means that negatives will come out as positives since their absolute values are the same. So |-9| is just 9.

|-81-17| (apply the rule I just gave you)

|81+17|

What is the slope of the line through (1, -1) and (5. – 7)?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points, we can find the slope by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-7 - -1)/ (5-1)

    = (-7+1)/(5-1)

    = -6/4

    = -3/2
