Answer: 4 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Kacie bought x, number of pencils. She paid $0.91, including tax, for a pencil and gave the cashier $10 and received $6.36 back in change.

Let the number of pencils bought be x.

Since she paid $0.91 per pencil, and gave the cashier $10 and collected $6.36 as change, this will be:

10 - 0.91x = 6.36

Collect like terms

0.91x = 10 - 6.36

0.91x = 3.64

x = 3.64/0.91

x = 4

She bought 4 pencils

Answer:

She purchased 4 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the number of pencils bought given the information in the question.

The amount per pencil is $0.91. The total amount of this since she bought x number of pencils is $0.91 * x = $0.91x

Now, after paying $10, she was given $6.36 as change

what this means is that what the pencils cost is 10-6.36 = $3.64

Now we equate the cost in terms of x to this;

0.91x = 3.64

x = 3.64/0.91

x = 4 pencils

Use substitution method &amp; show your work.<br>y = x^2 + 3x - 1<br>4x + 1 = y
irina1246 [14]
4x + 1 = x^2 + 3x - 1
4x = x^2 + 3x - 2
0 = x^2 -x - 2
0 = x^2 -x + 1 - 3
0 = (x - 1)^2 - 3
3 = (x - 1)^2
sqrt 3=(x-1) and (-(x-1))
x = 1+sqrt 3 and 1-sqrt 3
sqrt means square root

Please I need help with that question
fomenos

We know that 2x + 5 = 10 - 3x, and because of this we can solve for x.

2x + 5 = 10 - 3x

+3x

5x + 5 = 10

-5

5x = 5

/5

x = 1

We can plug x into each x value to verify if this is true.

2(1) + 5 = 10 - 3(1)

2 + 5 = 10 - 3

7 = 7
