Answer: $0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent pencil and y represent eraser

10x + 7y = 4.23 → 1(10x + 7y = 4.23) → 10x + 7y = 4.23

3x + y = 0.95 → -3(3x + y = 0.95) → -21x - 7y = -6.65

-11x = -2.42

÷-11 ÷-11

x = 0.22

3x + y = 0.95

3(0.22) + y = 0.95

0.66 + y = 0.95

y = 0.29

2y = 2(0.29) = 0.58

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

3 students

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 30 students in Mrs. Woodward’s class.

$\dfrac{1}{5}$ of the class has their own cell phone, so

$\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot 30=\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot \dfrac{30}{1}=6$

students have their own cell phones.

$\dfrac{1}{2}$ of those 6 students are allowed to use social media. So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 6=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{6}{1}=3$

students are allowed to use social media.

Two times antonio's age plus three times Sarah's age equals 34. Sarah age is also five times antonio's age . How old is Sarah?

Sergio039 [100]

Let Sarah's age be s and Antonio's age be a.

According to your question,

2a + 3s = 34
s = 5a

substituting the value of s in eq. 1,

2a + 3(5a) = 34

= 2a + 15 a = 34

17a = 34

thus, a = 34/17 = 2

substituting the value of a is s,

s = 5(2)
= 10

Thus, Sarah's age is 10 years and Antonio's age is 2 years.
