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: 5/6 ÷ 5/12 = 5/6 x [12]/[5] = [60]/30 =2
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to this is knowing that when you divide anything by a fraction, it is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction, or the flipped version. In this case, we are given 5/6 divided by 5/12, which equals 5/6 x12/5. Then you can so normal fraction multiplication to get 60/30, which is 2.

Answer:
x = -6; v = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
–14 = –(-2x + 2)
-14 = 2x - 2
2x - 2 = -14
2x = -12
x = -6.
51 = 7(-1 + 2v) + 2
51 = -7 + 14v + 2
51 = 14v - 5
14v = 56
v = 4.
Hope this helps!
