4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

Answer:
the cost of each pen is 1.33
Step-by-step explanation:
if you multiply 0.75 by 8 you get 6 after that you subtract 6 from 12.65 which means you have 6.65 which you divide by 5 which equals 1.33
Answer:
a ≈ 5.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' theorem
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
a² + 6² = 8², that is
a² + 36 = 64 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
a² = 28 ( take the square root of both sides )
a = 
≈ 5.3 ( to the nearest tenth )
50×.35=17.5 but you would round up to 18.
