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

deff fn [24]

Answer:

5•x=? and 8•5=40, personal opinion: the left rectangle is most likely a square so if you need to solve it it's 5•5=10

Step-by-step explanation:

A(area)=l (length)•w (width)

just plug in your numbers, in this case it would be 8(length) times 5(width)
