Answer:

pen costs twice as much as a pencil. The total cost of 1 pen and 1 pencil is $2.10. If p represents the cost of 1 pencil, which equation could you use to find p ?

2p + p = 2.10 --> p = 0.7

Answer : The equation could you use to find p is, 2p+p=2.10

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the cost of 1 pen be, 'x'

and the cost of 1 pencil is, 'p'

As we are given that total cost of 1 pen and 1 pencil is $2.10. The equation will be:

x+p=2.10    ............(1)

And we have also given that the pen costs twice as much as a pencil. The equation will be:

x=2p    ............(2)

Now put the equation 2 in equation 1, we get:

x+p=2.10

2p+p=2.10

Thus, the equation could you use to find p is, 2p+p=2.10

Pablo's Gourmet Pretzel Shop specializes in selling the very finest chocolate covered pretzels. Rico bought 4 white chocolate pr
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one white chocolate pretzel.

Let y represent the cost of one dark chocolate pretzel.

Rico bought 4 white chocolate pretzels and 6 dark chocolate pretzels for $10.50. This means that

4x + 6y = 10.5 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Holden bought 8 white chocolate and 3 dark chocolate pretzels for $9.75. This means that

8x + 3y = 9.75 - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes

32x + 48y = 84

32x + 12y = 39

Subtracting, it becomes

36y = 45

y = 45/36 = $1.25

Substituting y = 1.25 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 6 × 1.25 = 10.5

4x + 7.5 = 10.5

4x = 10.5 - 7.5 = 3

x = 3/4 = $0.75

the total cost for 6 white chocolate pretzels and one dark chocolate pretzel would be

6 × 0.75 + 1 × 1.25 = 4.5 + 1.25 = $5.75

last month Stephanie spent $57 on 4 allergy shots and 1 office visit .This month she spent $9 after 1 office visit and a refund
Sergeu [11.5K]

Visit $25 allergy shot $8

4a + 1v =57

-2a +1v= 9

I will multiply the second by -1 to cancel v variable (elimination method)

4a +1v =57

2a -1v = - 9

add both

6a. = 48

a= 8

4a= 32

32 + v = 57

v= 25

32+25 = 57

-16 +25=9

Line q has a slope of 5/3. Line r is parallel to line q. What is the slope if line r?​
seropon [69]

Answer:

The slope remains a constant m=\frac{5}{3} as it is parallel.

Explanation:

1. Line Q is defined as a slope of \frac{5}{3}; i.e. y=\frac{5}{3}

2. Line R is defined to be parallel of Line Q.

3. Line Q is linear and has no domain restrictions.

The definition of being parallel requires the same slope.
