Answer:

one binder for $3.70

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 5 binders and 3 folders = $23.00

The cost of 5 binders and 1 folder = $20.00 [ 2 folders less ]

Cost of 2 folders = 23 - 20 = $3.00

Cost of 1 folder = $\frac{3}{2}$ = $1.50

The cost of 5 binders = 20.00 - 1.50 = $18.50

The cost of 1 binder = $\frac{18.50}{5}$

= $3.70

The cost of one binder is $3.70

For this case we must solve each of the equations proposed:

A) $-6 (2s-1) = 30$

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

$-12s + 6 = 30$

Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation we have:

$-12s = 24$

Dividing between -12 on both sides of the equation:

$s = \frac {24} {- 12}s = -2$

B) $-3m = -5 (m-8)$

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

$-3m = -5m + 40$

We add 5m on both sides of the equation:

$2m = 40$

Dividing between 2 on both sides of the equation:

$m = \frac {40} {2}\\m = 20$

C) $7 (2-g) = 49$

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

$14-7g = 49$

We subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:

$-7g = 35$

Dividing between -7 on both sides of the equation:

$g = \frac {35} {- 7}\\g = -5$

D) - $7 (3w + 4) = 14$

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

$-21w-28 = 14$

We add 28 to both sides of the equation:

$-21w = 42$

Dividing between -21 on both sides of the equation:

$w = \frac {42} {- 21}\\w = -2$

Answer:

$s = -2\\m = 20\\g = -5\\w = -2$

Choose the appropriate pattern and use it to find the product: (p4−q4)(p4+q4).

sp2606 [1]

The expression can be solved by expanding the bracket and multiplying out the terms

$(p^4-q^4)(p^4+q^4)$ $\begin{gathered} =p^4(p^4+q^4)-q^4(p^4+q^4) \\ =p^8+p^4q^4-p^4q^4-q^8 \\ =p^8-q^8 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the expression can be simplified as;

$p^8-q^8$

Alternatively, using the theorem of difference of two squares, which is

$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

Hence,

$p^8-q^8=(p^4)^2-(q^4)^2$
