Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of 1 pen= $ 2

price of 1 pencil= $1

total money spent= $12

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

 2 a + b = 12   ----------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

  a - b = 3   ------------------  Equation 2

 Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

   2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                     3a = 15

                     a = 5

 Substituting in  equation

           5 - b = 3

               b = 2

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

Could someone help me finding out the missing answers?
Tema [17]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Slope of PQ is (v - z) / (w - x).

The slope of P'Q' =

(v + b) - (z + b)

---------------------   =   (v - z) / (w - x)

(w + a - (x + a)

Both lines have a slope that is (v - z)/ (w - x).

So both lines are parallel.
