Answer:
5 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the price of a package of pens n, and the cost of a box of paper r.
3n+r=26
2n+7r=49
Multiply the first equation by 7:
21n+7r=182
Subtract the second equation from the first:
19n=133
Divide both sides by 19 to isolate n:
n=7
Plug this back in to find the value of a box of paper:
3(7)+r=26
21+r=26
r=5
Hope this helps!
28=(2+x)+x
-2 -2
_________
26=x+x
26=2x
Divide both by 2
13=x
length=15 width=13
Y=-2x+200 hope this helps
Let the number of apples be x and that of pears be y, then:
0.64x + 0.45y = 5.26 . . . (1)
0.32x + 0.39y = 3.62 . . . (2)
(2) x 2 => 0.64x + 0.78y = 7.24 . . . (3)
(1) - (3) => -0.33y = -1.98
y = -1.98 / -0.33 = 6
From (2), 0.32x + 0.39(6) = 3.62
0.32x = 3.62 - 2.34 = 1.28
x = 1.28 / 0.32 = 4
Therefore, he bought 4 apples and 6 pears.
