Answer:

<u>We bought 3 specialty pens and 5 standard</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Standard pencils cost $0.85

Specialty pencils cost $1.25

You buy 8 pencils for $8

2. How many specialty pencils did you buy?

Number of specialty pencils = x

Number of standard pencils = 8 - x

Let's write our equation to solve for x:

0.85 (8 - x) + 1.25x = 8

6.8 - 0.85x + 1.25x = 8

0.4x = 8 - 6.8

0.4x = 1.2

x = 1.2/0.4

x = 3 ⇒ 8 - x = 5

<u>We bought 3 specialty pens and 5 standard</u>

FIND THE SLOPE <br> please explain me how to do it
natka813 [3]

Answer:

slope = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = \frac{3-7}{0+4} = \frac{-4}{4} = - 1

Can y’all plz help me ignore the writing part on the side of it plz show me the steps or tell me

Hello.

The Manager has concluded that 2 out of 25 light bulbs are faulty.The table he created represents the ratio of bulbs checked and which ones were found faulty.
A way that he could verify that the table is correct is by simplifying each ratio. If each of them turn out to 2:25, then the conclusion is correct.

The best answer that matches this is answer choice "C.)" as it also defines our method of verifying the table's validity (just the order of the ratio is reversed, and that's fine as long as the variables are matching as well). We can further prove that this answer is correct by making ratios of our table and simplifying them;
100:8; divide both sides by 4.
25:2
500:40; divide both sides by 20.
25:2
2,000:160; divide both sides by 80.
25:2
This ratio is always the simplified answer.

Your answer is: "C.)"

I hope this helps!

Find the measurements of ZBOC.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

∠ BOC = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ AOC = 90° , then

5x + 2x + 20 = 90

7x + 20 = 90 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

7x = 70 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 10

Then

∠ BOC = 2x + 20 = 2(10) + 20 = 20 + 20 = 40°
