Answer: n = 75; p = 30
Explanation: (a) 5p + 4n = 450 where p is for pen and n is for notebook.
(b) 10p + 3n = 525
We can use the elimination method to solve these two equations.
1. Multiply the first equation by 2 so that 10p will cancel out:
2(5p + 4n = 450)
- 10p + 3p = 525
10p + 8n = 900
- 10 p + 3n = 525
5n = 375
2. Divide by 5 to get n alone: n = 75
3. Plug 75 into the first equation: 5p + 4(75) = 450
5p + 300 = 450
4. Subtract 300 from 450: 5p = 150
5. Divide by 5 to get p alone: p = 30
We can test if this is correct by plugging our answers into the second equation:
10(30) + 3(75) = 525
300 + 225 = 525
525 = 525
This is a true statement, which means that our answers are correct.

<h3>
Answer: B. 781.6 feet approximately</h3>
=======================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal portion is 400+166 = 566 feet. Label this as 'a', so a = 566. The vertical side is unknown, so b = x. The hypotenuse is c = 965
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2
566^2+x^2 = 965^2
x^2 = 965^2 - 566^2
x = sqrt( 965^2 - 566^2 )
x = 781.58108984289 which is approximate
x = 781.6 feet when rounding to one decimal place
