Nerissa paid a total of $8 for 4 packs of pencils she purchased from the convenience store. Let p represent the cost of one pack
BARSIC [14]

Answer: 4*p=8

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>You can use inverse operation to answer this equation.</em>

  • <em>write out you problem: 4 x p =8</em>
  • <em>The inverse of multiplication is division</em>
  • <em>you do 4/4 which gives you one but the 4 will cancel itself out</em>
  • <em>Do 8/4 which gives you 2</em>
  • <em>under the equation write p = 2</em>
  • <em>And be sure to line the p up with the p, the equal sign with the equal sign, and  the 2  stays where it is ( which should be already lined up with the 8)</em>

The total cost of a jacket and a pair of shoes was $52.95. If the price of the jacket was $3.87 less than the pair of shoes, wha
abruzzese [7]

The price of jacket was $24.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of jacket = x

Cost of pair of shoes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=52.95   Eqn 1

x = y-3.87    Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y-3.87)+y=52.95\\y-3.87+y=52.95\\2y=52.95+3.87\\2y=56.82\\

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{56.82}{2}\\y=28.41

Putting y=28.41 in Eqn 2,

x=28.41-3.87\\x=24.54

The price of jacket was $24.54

Which ordered pair represents the y-intercept of the graph of the equation y = –4x – 7?
Dovator [93]
If <span>y = –4x – 7, the x-intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for x:

</span><span>0 = –4x – 7  =>  4x = -7, or   x = -7/4       The x-intercept is (-7/4, 0).

</span><span>The y-intercept is found by setting x = 0 and reading off the value of y:

y = –4x – 7  =>  y = 0 - 7, or y = -7.  The y-intercept is (0, -7).</span>
