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.

Answer:

You can use Gaussian Elimination.

Double both sides of the first equation and add the second equation.

6x + 4y = 8

5x - 4y = 3

---------------

11x      = 11

x = 1

5 - 4y = 3

-4y = -2

y = 1/2

The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 in.and its length is 3times its width. What are the length and width of ThE rectangle?
Mama L [17]

let w = width and 3w = length

perimeter is the distance around the outside of the object or P = 2L + 2W

2(3w) + 2w = 24

6w + 2w= 24

8w = 24

w= 3

3w= 9

Width is 3in. and length is 9in.

Hi... So for this homework question It says " Amy bought 2 and 1/2 gallons of paint for $60. What is the cost for 1 gallon of pa
andrey2020 [161]

I'm sorry but the solution you proposed was a bit hard to follow, so I'll just post my solution: we convert "2 and 1/2" to a single fraction:

2+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{4}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}

So, we know that 5/2 gallons cost 60 dollars, which means

\dfrac{5}{2}g=60

To find the cost of a single gallon, we have to solve the equation for g:

g = 60\cdot \dfrac{2}{5} = 24
