Answer:

pencils=$4

pen=$1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let pencils be x and pens be y

Mara bought 8 boxes of pencils and 3 packages of pens for $24

8x+3y=24------------1

Elaine bought 4 boxes of pencils and 6 packages of pens for $30

4x+6y=30------------2

solve 1 and 2 simulteneoulsy

8x+3y=24---------X1

4x+6y=30----------X2

subtract the answer bellow

8x+3y=24

8x+12y=60

0-9y=-36

divide both sides by- 9

y=36/9

y=$4

put y= 4 in 1

8x+3*4=24

8x+12=24

8x=24-12

8x=12

divide both side by 8

x= 12/8

x=3/2

x= $1.5

Factor the polynomial 16b^4+30b^3-12b^2
Lelu [443]

Answer:

2b²(8b²+15b-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

16b^{4}+30b³-12b²

2b²(8b²+15b-6)

This is not further factorable. If you want to find the roots, you'd have to use the quadratic formula for the polynomial in the parentheses. Therefore that is our final answer.
