Answer:

5 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the price of a package of pens n, and the cost of a box of paper r.

3n+r=26

2n+7r=49

Multiply the first equation by 7:

21n+7r=182

Subtract the second equation from the first:

19n=133

Divide both sides by 19 to isolate n:

n=7

Plug this back in to find the value of a box of paper:

3(7)+r=26

21+r=26

r=5

Hope this helps!

There are 20 20 coins in a jar. Each coin is either a nickel or a quarter. If one of the coins is selected at random, the probab
sveta [45]

Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8

3. 26 problems left

4. $69.20

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First I divided 5 into 2 to get a decimal, 0.4, and then I multiplied 0.4 to 65.

0.4 x 65 = 26

2. It said that Luke paid 2.75 for himself and 6 other friends, which is 7 people. I then multiplied 2.75 x 7 and got 19.25. I then added 19.25 to the other amount of money, and got 69.20.

49.95 + 19.25 = 69.20

Hope this helps <3

Which statement best illustrates using the vertical line test to determine if the graph below is a function of x ?
kirill115 [55]

If something is a function, every x-value, only has one (1) y-value. If the line x = 0 intersects the graph in two points, there are to values for y (instead of one). Therefore the graph is not a function of x.


Your answer is A.
