Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3 + x) = 15 + x
Open bracket
9 + 3x = 15 + x
Collecting like terms
3x - x = 15 - 9
2x = 6
Dividing by 2
x = 6/2
x = 3
Answer:
2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
to get the mean all you have to is add all the numbers up then divide by how numbers there are. so 3e is what u get when u add them up then divide by 12 and u get 2.75
9514 1404 393
Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.
Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.
The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.
(8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)
-4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)
The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.
One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.
Yes it is the same. 1/4 +1/4 = 1/2. so 9/10-1/2=9/10-1/2
