Answer:

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

Explanation:

 Price of pen = 2 $

 Price of pencil = 1 $

 Total money spent = 12 $

 Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

  2 a + b = 12   -----------------------------------Equation 1

 We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

   a - b = 3   --------------------------------------  Equation 2

  Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

           2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                 3a = 15

                   a = 5

   Substituting in  equation 2

                 5 - b = 3

                b = 2

    Number pencils Ava bought = 2

<h3>Limit of a function</h3>

The limit of a function is the limit of a function as x tends to a value.

From the given graph, you can see that the function g(x) goes large at the point where the arrows orange and purple point down from the x-coordinates -1 and 1.

Hence the value of a where the Limit of g(x) as x approaches alpha not exist are -1 and 1

A frame is 6in tall and 8 in wide. What if it was reduced to a width of 4in then how tall will it be
kkurt [141]

Answer:

  3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, we are to assume that the height and width are proportional:

  height/width = (6 in)/(8 in) = (new height)/(4 in)

Multiplying by 4 in will tell us the new height:

  new height = (4 in)(6/8) = 3 in

The reduced frame will be 3 inches tall.
