Answer:

Each pencil costs $0.07 and each eraser costs $0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

System of linear equations

It refers to the study of systems when n variables are related in m linear equations, each one is not independent from the others. Solving such systems can be done following very diverse approaches.  

Let p=the price of each pencil while e is the price each eraser

Julio bought 4 pencils and 3 erasers, spending

4p+3e=0.37

David bought 3 pencils and 4 erasers, spending

3p+4e=0.33

The system of equations is written in the form

\left\{\begin{matrix}4p+3e=0.37\\ 3p+4e=0.33\end{matrix}\right

We'll solve it by reduction. Multiplying the first equation by -3 and the second by 4:

\left\{\begin{matrix}-12p-9e=-1.11\\ 12p+16e=1.32\end{matrix}\right.

Adding both equations:

7e=0.21  

e=0.03

Multiplying the first one by -4 and the second by 3

\left\{\begin{matrix}-16p-12e=-1.48\\ 9p+12e=0.99\end{matrix}\right.\end{matrix}\right.

Adding both equations:

-7p=-0.49

p=0.07  

Solution: Each pencil costs $0.07 and each eraser costs $0.03

Answer:

Possible Outcomes = {January , February, March, April,May, June, July, August, September , October , November ,December}

Explanation:

In probability The possible outcomes is a possible result of an experiment which we are performing. Each possible outcome is unique for a particular experiment

Now in this problem we are performing the experiment of putting the names of months in bag

Total months are 12

which are January , February, March, April,May, June, July, August, September , October , November and December

Now

Possible Outcomes = {January , February, March, April,May, June, July, August, September , October , November ,December}

So these are the possible results which can occur in our experiment that which ever we will pick the answer will be one of these 12 names

Identify the domain of the function shown in the graph.
kompoz [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The answer is A choice.

<u>Explanation:</u>

By looking at the graph, we notice that at the left side, the domain/x-value stops at -5 and 5.

Thus, the domain is at <u>the left end side to the right end side.</u>

The domain stops at -5 on the left side and 5 on the right side. Thus the answer is

-5 < x < 5.

The A choice.
