I think the original width was 9.6 in and the original length was 38.4 in.
Hope this will help u
Where are the variables for the equation?
D: because if you take 9.50-7.50=2 you would get p=price or the price of the pen.
Hope I helped=)
3/2x + 1/5 >= -1
3/2x >= - 6/5
x >= -12/15
x >= -4/5
-1/2x - 7/3 >= 5
-1/2x >= 22/3
x <= -44/3
Its D
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
