Answer:

Every pencil cost 4$ alll of the pencils together are 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

All you had to do is figure out how much money you wasted on buying the three pencils and from that you have gotten 12$ that you wasted and then you have 3 pencils and so then just divide 12 divided by three which equals 4 so that means that 4$ is your answer.

Answer:

Each Pencil Cost 4 Dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can subtract 21 by 9 to get 12 dollars which shows how much he spent.

Second you can divide 12 by 3 to get 4 dollars spent. So he spent 4 dollars on each pencil.

What is the x-intercept and the y-intercept for x+2y=8

Ierofanga [76]

To find the x-intercept, you need to set y equal to zero(think about this on a graph!)
This will become:
x + 2(0) = 8
If we remove the unnecessary zero:
x = 8
That's the x intercept, which can be expressed as the point (8,0).

To find the y-intercept, you need to set x equal to zero(again, think about that on a graph!)
This becomes:
0 + 2y = 8
Remove the unnecessary 0:
2y = 8
Divide both sides by 2:
y = 4
There ya go! Or, in point form: (0, 4)

Hope this helped! :)

Which describes the calculations that could be used to solve this problem? Lauren has 42 muffins to pack into boxes and bags. Sh

Marat540 [252]

The correct answer is D, 'Subtract 42 - 12. Then divide the difference by 3'. Lauren has 42 muffins, and she can put 12 of them into a box, leaving her with 30 muffins to fit into bags. If she can fit 3 muffins in each bag, and she wants to know how many bags she needs, then she needs to divide 30 by 3 to get 10. This means that she will need 10 bags of 3 muffins to completely pack 30 muffins. She started with 42, but 12 of those fit into the original box, so we don't have to worry about it.

Hope this helps!

How do i solve each proportion?

natali 33 [55]

You have to cross multiply (multiply the numerator of the first by the denominator of the second and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[19]

$\frac{x+4}{3} = \frac{4}{10}$

$10x+40=12$

$10x = -28$

$x=-2.8$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[21]

$\frac{4}{n+8} = \frac{10}{8}$

$32 = 8n + 64$

$8n = -32$

$n=-4$
