Answer:

The answer to your question is Antony bought 5 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

pens = p = $0.35

pencils = n = $0.15

total amount = 12

total money spent = $2.80

Process

1.- Write equations

               p  +  n  = 12                -------------- (l)

        0.35p  +  0.15n = 2.80      --------------(ll)

2.- Solve the system of equations by elimination

Multiply equation l by - 0.35

         - 0.35p - 0.35n = -4.2

           0.35p + 0.15 n = 2.8

              0      - 0.2n = -1.4

Solve for n

                         n = -1.4 / -0.2

                         n = 7      He bought 7 pencils

3.- Find the value of p

              p + 7 = 12

              p = 12 - 7

              p = 5                He bought 5 pens

Mei is writing a coordinate proof involving a right isosceles triangle. Mei places her triangle on the coordinate plane such tha
bulgar [2K]

Answer: (a,a)


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A  right isosceles triangle which is placed on the coordinate plane such that one of the legs of the triangle lies along the x-axis and the other leg is parallel to the y-axis.

From the given figure one vertex is on origin(0,0) and second on x -axis as (a,0) .ii.e. one side of the triangle is on the x axis with length 'a' and the side parallel to the y axis should perpendicular to the x axis with length 'a'.(∵ two sides are equal in a right isosceles triangle)

So the coordinates should she assign to the third vertex of the right isosceles triangle is (a,a).[as the point lie above the point (a,0), so its x abscissa should be same]
