Answer:

The cost of each notebook is $3 and the cost of each thumb drive is $14.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will attribute variables to the notebook and thumb drive. The price of a notebook we will call "x" and the price of a thumb drive will be "y". We now can create equations that represents the total amount spent by each person on these items. To do that we need to take the amount of each item that was bought and multiply it by it's price.

For Troy:

4*x + 6*y = 96

For Lisa:

2*x + 4*y = 62

We now have a system of equations and we can solve them by isolate one of he variables in one of the equations and using that value on the other. Using the second equation we have:

2*x + 4*y = 62

4*y = 62 - 2*x

y = 15.5 - 0.5*x

Using this expression on the first equation:

4*x + 6*(15.5 - 0.5*x) = 96

4*x + 93 - 3*x = 96

x = 96 - 93 = 3

We can now find the value of y:

y = 15.5 - 0.5*(3) = 14

The cost of each notebook is $3 and the cost of each thumb drive is $14.

What are the solutions to the equation x - 7/x = 6
bearhunter [10]

The answer is C that is X=7 and X=-1

multiple x through the given equation to get rid of a fraction. It will be

{x}^{2}  - 7 = 6x

After that bring 6X to the LHS of the equation

so that it will look like the general equation that is

{x}^{2}  - 6x - 7 = 0

Use the quadratic formula (or any other approach to find the values of x

You will arrive at

x = 7. - 1
