The equation looks like this:
26=x*3.5+8.50
where x is the number of pen you bought.
We solve it like this:
first, we subtract 8.50 from both sides:
17.50 =3.5*x
now we divide both sides by 3.5:
5=x
so you purchased 5 pens.
Given:
Consider the below figure attached with this question.
and
.
To find:
The measure of angle 3.
Solution:
From the below figure it is clear that, angle 3 and angle 4 are vertically opposite angles.
We know that, vertically opposite angles are always equal. So,






Now,


Therefore, the measure of angle 3 is 140 degrees.
4.5x + 1.5y = 24 ⇒ 4.5x + 1.5y = 24
1.0x - 1.0y = 4 ⇒<u> 4.5x - 4.5y = 18</u>
<u>6y</u> = <u>6</u>
6 6
y = 1
4.5x + 1.5(1) = 24
4.5x + 1.5 = 24
<u> - 1.5 - 1.5</u>
<u>4.5x</u> = <u>22.5</u>
4.5 4.5
x = 5
(x, y) = (5, 1)
Treat it just like and equation at first. Multiply the 10 on both sides to get rid of it, leaving you with 50
x. Then on the number line, since there is a line under it, you would make a filled in circle and an arrow pointing towards 51 and beyond
