Answer:

A. pen, $0.75; pencil, $0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

let pen be $x n pencil be $y

8 pencils and 6 pens cost a total of $8.50

(1) 8y + 6x = 8.5

4 of each cost $5

(2) 4y + 4x = 5

multiply (2) by 2:  8y + 8x = 10

subtract (1) from (2)x2:  8x - 6x = 10 - 8.5

2x = 1.5

x = 0.75

put back in (1):  8y + 6*0.75 = 8.5

8y = 8.5 - 4.5 = 4

y = 0.5

ans is A. pen, $0.75; pencil, $0.50

Answer: x = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

x and (3x + 10) combine to form a right angle, shown in the diagram by the small square joining the perpendicular lines.

Right angles are 90 degrees, so you can add both angles to get 90:

x + (3x + 10) = 90\\\\4x + 10 = 90\\\\4x = 80\\\\x = 20

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify first what is in the parenthesis before distributing the exponent outside would help.

Remember that negative exponents simply means that their on the wrong side of the fraction. So if you find a variable with a negative exponent as a numerator, you bring them down and when it is found as a denominator, you bring them up.

Also when you distribute your exponents, you always multiply it to each exponent inside the parenthesis.

Look at the attached picture for the solution
