Answer:

  • 490 pens
  • 510 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pens Nick sold. Then the revenue is ...

  0.10p +0.05(1000 -p) = 74.50

  0.05p = 24.50 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 50

  p = 490 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 20

The number of pencils sold is then ...

  pencils = 1000 -490 = 510

Nick's Printing Press sold 490 pens and 510 pencils.

A, B, and C are points of tangency. CQ = 5, PQ = 10, and PR = 14. What is the perimeter
igomit [66]

*see attachment for diagram

Answer:

Perimeter = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: when two tangents are drawn to meet at a point outside a circle, the segments of the two tangents are congruent.

Given,

CQ = 5

PQ = 10

PR = 14

Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

CQ = QB = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)

BP = PQ - QB

BP = 10 - 5 = 5

BP = PA = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)

AR = PR - PA

AR = 14 - 5 = 9

AR = RC = 9 (tangents drawn from an external point)

✔️Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

= 9 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 9

Perimeter = 38

Answer:

#6 is D

#7 is A

Step-by-step explanation:

#6

-1/3(6x+15)-3

Distribute the -1/3

-1/3 times 6x is -2x

-1/3 times 15 is -5

-2x-5-3

-2x=8

#7

-12z-5z=85

COmbine like terms

-17z=85

Divide both sides by -17

z=-5
