Let pencil represent x
pen represent y
Next, we have this two equation:
x+1.5y=7
x+y=6
Then, I will use substitution to find the value of x and y:
x+1.5y=7
-
x+y=6
=
0.5y=1
y=2 pens
x+y=6
x+2=6
Subtract 2 for both side
x+2-2=6-2
x=4 pencils
Check:
x+y=6 items
4+2=6 items Right

x+1.5y=7
4+1.5(2)=$7
$4+$3=$7
$7=$7
As a result, there are 4 pencils , and 2 pens. Hope it help!

Y= # of pencils 
z= # of pens
1y + 1.50z = 7
Total # of pencils and pens combined equals 6 
4 pencils = $4
2 pens = $3 
$4 + $3 = $7 
4 pencils + 2 pens = 6 items total

You roll two dice, what is the probability of rolling two even numbers?
Karolina [17]
The probability of rolling an even number on the first dice is 1/2(3/6)
The probability of rolling an even number on the first dice is also 1/2 (3/6)
So the probability of getting two even numbers on both dice is 1/2*1/2=1/4

At a local school dance, the booster club is having a fundraiser selling pictures. Pictures without frames sell for $5, and with
Sergeu [11.5K]
Let p = pictures only
let f = pictures with frames

p + f = 100
5p + 10f = 875

Solve for one variable in the first equation then plug into the second

p = 100 - f
5(100 - f) + 10f = 875
500 - 5f + 10f = 875
500 + 5f = 875
5f = 375
f = 75

75 pictures with frames were sold
