Answer:

The answer to your question is: c = 3x, $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill bought = 4 pens for $12

equation cost vs # of pens (x)

Cost of 20 pens?

                           4 pens ---------------- $12

                            1 pen      -------------   x

                           x = 1(12)/4

                          x = 3

Equation :

            cost = 3x

20 pens will cost

           cost = 3(20)

                   = $60

Answer : c = 3x, $60

Answer:

The correct option is

c=3x , $60

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by assuming that exists a linear relationship between the price of the pens and the amount of pens that Bill bought.We also assume that this linear relationship is a direct linear relationship.This means that the price of the pens increases with the amount of pens. According to this we can calculate the price of one pen as :

\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{x}

Solving for ''x'' :

\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{x} \\x=\frac{(12).(1)}{4}=3

We find that one pen costs $3

If ''c'' is the cost of pens and ''x'' is the number of pens we can write the ''cost function''  multiplying the cost per pen by the amount of pens :

cost = (cost per pen).(amount of pens) ⇒

c=3x

Because cost is the letter ''c'' and the amount of pens is represented by the variable ''x''

To know the cost of 20 pens we only need to replace in the cost function ''c'' the variable ''x'' by 20 ⇒

c=3x\\c=(3).(20)=60\\c=60

Finally, the cost function is

c=3x

And the cost of 20 pens is $60. Therefore, the third option is the correct option.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

6x−7=26

Step 1: Add 7 to both sides.

6x−7+7=26+7

6x=33

Step 2: Divide both sides by 6.

x= 11/2

Jillian is using integer tiles to add 7 + (negative 2). She uses the steps below. Step 1 7 positive tiles. Step 2 7 positive til
raketka [301]

Answer:

<h3>Step 4</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 7+(-2)

Let 7 be 7 positive tiles since it is a positive number

Let -2 be 2 negative tiles being a negative number

7+(-2) = 7 positive tiles <em>and</em> 2 negative tiles

note that + * - will give minus sigh (-), the expression will become:

7+(-2) = 7-2

7-2 = 5

Hence the expression gives 5 positive tiles not 2 positive tiles according to Jillian calculations in step 4.

Hence Jillian made an error in step 4

Write in scientific notation. 0.5(8 X 10^5)
OLEGan [10]
8x10^5 = 800,000

times 800,000 by 0.5 (or just half it) would equal 400,000, which is translated to 4x10^5
