Clodagh and Eva went school supply shopping together. Clodagh bought 3 packs of pencils and 5 notebooks for a total of $18. Eva
bought 4 packs of pencils and 4 notebooks for a total of $16.80. How much does a pack of pencils cost? How much does a notebook cost?
1 answer:
Answer:
each notebook costs $2.70
each pack of pencils costs $1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
system of equations:
let p = pack of pencils
let n = notebook
3p + 5n = 18
4p + 4n = 16.8
I used the elimination method by multiplying the first equation by 4 and the second equation by -3
4(3p + 5n = 18) = 12p + 20n = 72
-3(4p + 4n = 16.8) = -12p -12n = -50.4
adding the new equations together you get: 8n = 21.6
n = 21.6/8
n = $2.70
solve for 'p':
3p + 5(2.7) = 18
3p + 13.5 = 18
3p = 4.5
p = $1.50

Let x be temperature in Celsius and y in Fahrenheit.
when x=0, y=32
the y intercept is the point where x =0 so the intercept is on y=32.
the slope is 1.8
the slope intercept is in a form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the intercept.
the answer is y =1.8x+32
