Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
k = xy
Putting values of x and y in the equation
k = (5)(-3.5)
= - 17.5
Finding value of x when y = 10
k = xy
- 17.5 = x10
Bringing like terms on one side
- 17.5 - 10 = x
-27.5 = x
Answer:
20.5 and 21.5
Step-by-step explanation:
It says 2 significant figures so the least it can possibly be is 0.5 less and the most it can be is 0.5 more as if it was, lets say 20.4 it would round down to 20 not 21.
Answer:
42 because 3 tens is 30 and 12 ones is 12. so you do 30 + 12 = 42
Let n = cost of 1 notebook
Let p = cost of 1 pencil
Then,
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
You can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute into the remaining equation.
3n + 4p = 8.5
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
Multiply the top equation by -2 so that the p-containing terms cancel each other out:
-2(3n + 4p = 8.5)
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
-n + 0 = -2.5
So after dividing both sides by -1, we see that n = $2.5. Plugging into the first equation gives p = $0.25.
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
