Answer:
8 pens
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>Finding the number of pens bought </u></h2>
pencil costs 0.27
pen costs 0.32
6 * pencils + x pens = 4.18
6 * 0.27 + x * 0.32 = 4.18
1.62 + 0.32x = 4.18
0.32x = 4.18 - 1.62
0.32x = 2.56
x = 2.56/0.32
x = 8
<u>hence 8 pens were bought </u>
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the linear dimensions (perimeter) is the square root of the ratio of area dimensions, so the larger : smaller ratio is ...
   √(72/50) = √1.44 = 1.2
The sum of ratio units is 1.2 + 1 = 2.2, so each ratio unit stands for ...
   (226 dm)/2.2 = 102 8/11 dm . . . . . the perimeter of the smaller triangle
Then the perimeter of the larger triangle is ...
   1.2 × 102 8/11 dm = 123 3/11 dm . . . . the perimeter of the larger triangle
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Step-by-step explanation:
 Multiply 2/3 by (x-3) to get 2/3x -3.
Then subtract -1 on the y side to the right side compair like terms.
