Answer:

13 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the pens and y be the pencils

Given:

Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95.

Total pens and pencils is 22

So, x+y=22----------------(1)

And he bought all utensils for $11.95. and each pen for 75 cents and pencils for 40 cents.

0.75x+0.40y=11.95------------(2)

solve equation 1 and equation 2 for x and y.

From equation 1.

x+y=22

y=22-x----------------(3)

put y value in equation 2.

0.75x+0.4(22-x)=11.95

0.75x+0.4\times 22-0.4x=11.95

0.75x+8.8-0.4x=11.95

0.75x-0.4x=11.95-8.8

0.35x=3.15

x=\frac{3.15}{0.35}

x=9

Now substitute x value in equation 3.

y=22-9

y=13

So, he buy 13 pencils.

The ordered pairs (4,5) and (4,-5) are reflected points. Are the locations of these points reflected on the y or the x axis?
My name is Ann [436]

The two coordinates' x variables are the same, while the y variables change. This means that it is reflected over the x axis. Reflecting over the y axis would cause a change in the x variable, as it would have to move sideways, so this can't be the case since the x variable stays as 4 even after the reflection.

∠A and \angle B∠B are complementary angles. If m\angle A=(8x-28)^{\circ}∠A=(8x−28) and measure of angle B=(8x+22) ∠B=(8x+22) ,th
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically we want to find x and then plug that in for angle B.  How do we find x?  Well, we know the angles are complimentary, which means theya dd to 90, so let's start with that.

A + B = 90

8x - 28 + 8x + 22 = 90

16x -6 = 90

16x = 96

x = 6

So there we go.  Now to find B

B

8x+22

8(6)+22

48 + 22

70

The circle below is centered at the point (4.1) and has a radius of length 2.What is its equation?
azamat

Answer:

Hence the required equation of circle is

(x - 4)² + ( y - 1)² = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle whose center (h, k) and radius r is given-

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Here given that-

Center = ( 4, 1) & r = 2

Equation of circle-

<em>( x - 4)² + ( y - 1)² = 2²</em>

<em>(x - 4)² + ( y - 1)² = 4</em>

<em>x² + 16 - 8 x + y² + 1 - 2 y = 4</em>

<em>x² + y² -8 x - 2 y + 13 = 0 </em>

Hence the required equation of circle is

(x - 4)² + ( y - 1)² = 4

         0R

x² + y² - 8 x - 2 y + 13 = 0
