Let the cost of 1 notebook be x and the cost of 1 binder be y.
4 notebooks and 3 binders would cost 23.5
Therefore, 4x + 3y = 23.5 (1)
7 notebooks and 6 binders would cost 44.5
Therefore, 7x + 6y = 44.5 (2)
Multiply the first equation by 2.
8x + 6y = 47 (3)
(3) - (2) gives
x = 2.5
Substitute the value of x in (1), we get,
4(2.5) + 3y = 23.5
10 + 3y = 23.5
3y = 23.5 - 10
3y = 13.5
y = 13.5/3
y = 4.5
Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is:
5x + 3y = 5(2.5) + 3(4.5)
= 12.5 + 13.5
= 26
Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is $26.
Square root is the number that when multiplied when itself give the number you are looking for if that makes any sense.
8 is the square root of 64 because 8x8 = 64
Answer:
y= (3/4) x - (3/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 4y = 6 (using algebra add the 4y to the other side & subtract the 6 to the other side >> 3x - 6 = 4y (then divide everything by 4 to get y by itself) >> 3/4x - 6/4 = y (then simplify) >> 3/4x - 3/2 = y
1/2 / 3 = 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6

Answer: A number with the same absolute value of 23 is -23.
Explanation: The absolute value of a number is how far it is from zero, and the absolute value of a number is always positive, unless the number is 0, in which case the absolute value is neutral, and the absolute value is 0.
Examples: 6 is 6 away from zero, so the absolute value of 6 is 6.
−6 is 6 away from zero, so the absolute value of −6 is 6.
