Answer:
Explanation:
1. x represent the copybook while y represent the pen that is bought.
2. 2x + 3y = 9000 means that in order to buy 2 copybooks and 3 pen you have to pay 9000 LL.
3. Solve for the price of x and y
2x + 3y = 9000 (1)
4x + 2y = 8000 (2)
Multiply (1) by -2:
-2(2x + 3y = 9000)
4x + 2y = 8000
——————————
-4x - 6y = -18000
4x + 2y = 8000
—————————
-4y = -10000
y = -10000/-4
y = 2500
Substitute y value into (2):
4x + 2(2500) = 8000
4x + 5000 = 8000
4x = 3000
x = 3000/4
x = 750
Therefore, 1 copy book = 750LL and 1 pen = 2500 LL

Answer: -9 / 24
Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct variation is given by
y = kx where k is the constant of variation
-35 = k*7
-35/7 = k
-5 = k
y = -5x
We know y = -85
-85 = -5x
Divide each side by -5
-85/-5 = x
17 =x
Answer:
23pupils
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of 18th grade boys this year = 18
Percentage decrease = 28%
Unknown:
How many 8th grade teams were there last year = ?
Solution:
Since this is a percentage decrease, ;
Number of pupils this year = Number of pupils last year - (28% x 18 )
18 + (28% x 18 ) = Number of pupils last year
Number of pupils last year = 23pupils
