Answer:
Cost of one pencil: 
Cost of one eraser: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "p" the cost in dollars of one pencil and "e" the cost in dollars of one eraser.
Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following system of equations:
You can use the Elimination Method to solve the system of equations.
Multiply the first equation by -3 ad the second one by 4. Then add the equations and solve for "e":
{
Substitute the value of "e" into any original equation and solve for "p":
Answer:
600
3-4 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
If he spends $120 dollars a month, and he cut's that down to $50 a month, we should create a pattern to visualize the months.
Step-by-step explanation:
120- 50= 70 ($70 saved each month)
Month 1- $70 saved total
Month 2- $140 saved total
Month 3- $210 saved total
Month 4- $280 saved total
Month 5- $350 saved total
Month 6- $420 saved total
It takes 6 months to get 400 saved. We could also divide to get
5.714285, but it would takes 6 months before reaching the goal. :)
3x + 2y=-10 equation 1
y=-x -4 equation 2
use the substitution method of elimination to get the answer to the question.
*using substitution
substitute equation 2 in one and we get
3x +2(-x-4)=-10
3x- 2x-8=-10
x=-2 and y=-2
Answer:
B
