For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of pens
y: number of pencils
We now write the system of inequations:

The solution to the system of inequations is given by the shaded region.
Note: see attached image.
Divide 20 by 2
20/2 = 10
Add and subtract 0.5* from 10
10 + 0.5 = 10.5
10 - 0.5 = 9.5
Those two numbers are your answer.
*The reason why we used 0.5 because the difference is 1, so divide 1 by 2.
Have an awesome day! :)
Answer:
sorry just need points
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:Oh, be very careful about the "$87."
Let the dryer cost x.
Then, the washer costs (x+87)
Together, they cost (x) + (x+87) = 787
2x+87 = 787
2x = 700 [subtract 97 from both sides]
x = 350 [divide both sides by 2]
The dryer cost $350.
