Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.
Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.
The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.
(8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)
-4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)
The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.
One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.
Answer:
80 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals divide the rhombus into four congruent triangles. The height of each triangle is 18/2 = 9, and the hypotenuse is 41. Using Pythagorean theorem, the width of each triangle is:
c² = a² + b²
41² = 9² + x²
x = 40
Therefore, the longer diagonal is 2×40 = 80.

Answer: <em>
</em>
Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is:"A gardener has 27 tulip bulbs, 45 tomato plants, 108 rose bushes, and 126 herb seedlings to plant in the city garden. He wants each row of the garden to have the same number of each kind of plant. What is the greatest number of rows that the gardener can make if he uses all the plants?"</em></h3><h3 />
The first step to solve the exercise is to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) between 27, 45, 108 and 126.
You can follow these steps in order to find the GCF:
1. You must decompose 27, 45, 108 and 126into their prime factors:

2. You must multiply the commons with the lowest exponents. Then:
<em>
</em>
Therefore, the greatest number of rows that the gardener can make if he uses all the plants is:
