Jenny bought a 5 notebooks and 2 pencils, and the total was 9 dollars.

1 answer:

6 0

You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5

Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75

So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!

Solve the system of equations. <br><br> 10x+y=−20 <br><br> y=2x2−4x−16<br><br> ( , ) and ( , )

Sladkaya [172]

I will go about solving this using the elimination method.

First, convert the equations.

10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12

Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.

6x = -8

Third, you want to solve the equation.

6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x = $-1 \frac{1}{3}$

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.

10( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ ) + y = -20
$-13 \frac{1}{3}$ + y = -20 (subtract $-13 \frac{1}{3}$ )
y = $-6 \frac{2}{3}$

The solution for this system of equations is ( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ , $-6 \frac{2}{3}$ ).

Andrea calls two truck rental companies to compare costs. Action trucks charges $80 for the day plus $0.22 per kilometer and tru

Amanda [17]

Answer:it will take 200 kilometers for the costs to be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of kilometers that Andrea would have to drive for the total cost of renting from both companies to be the same.

Action trucks charges $80 for the day plus $0.22 per kilometer. It means that the total cost of x miles would be

80 + 0.22x - - - - - - - - - 1

Truck experts charges $100 for the day plus $0.12 per kilometer. It means that the total cost of x miles would be

100 + 0.12x - - - - - - - - - 2

Therefore, for the cost of renting from both companies to be the same,

80 + 0.22x = 100 + 0.12x

0.22x - 0.12x = 100 - 80

0.1x = 20

x = 20/0.1 = 200

What's -8 + (-1 1/8)

gogolik [260]

I think the answer is 9.375 if it needs to be in decimal form. If it needs to be in fraction form it would be improper, 9 3/8 would be the fraction. Hope it helps!
