Let n = cost of 1 notebook
Let p = cost of 1 pencil

Then,

3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5

You can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute into the remaining equation.

3n + 4p = 8.5
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5

Multiply the top equation by -2 so that the p-containing terms cancel each other out:

-2(3n + 4p = 8.5)
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
-n + 0 = -2.5

So after dividing both sides by -1, we see that n = $2.5. Plugging into the first equation gives p = $0.25.


3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5

Find the equation in terms of x of the line through the points (-4,-4) and (5,-5)
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  y = -1/9 x - 40/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (-4 , -4)

B (5, -5)

Formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

y = mx + b

(y - y1) = m(x - x1=

Process

m = (-5 + 4) / (5 + 4)

m = -1 / 9

( y +4) = -1/9 (x + 4)

y + 4 = -1/9 x - 4/9

y = -1/9 x - 4/9 - 4

y = -1/9 x - 4/9 - 36/9

y = -1/9 x - 40/9

leva [86]

Answer:

  Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = 12/100 =0.12 = 12%

Explanation:

  Let number of students be 100.

  At Taylor Street School, 40% of the students bought lunch in the cafeteria today

 Number of students bought lunch = 100 x 40/100 = 40

 Of the students who bought lunch in the cafeteria today, 30% chose pizza as their entree

 Number of students bought pizza = 40 x 30/100 = 12.

 Probability of an outcome = Number of favorable outcome/ Total number of outcome

 Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = Number of students bought pizza/Total number of students

        = 12/100 =0.12 = 12%

  Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = 12/100 =0.12 = 12%
