Answer:

Yes, it's enough information

Step-by-step explanation:

yes, there is enough information to determine the cost of 1 pack of pencils and 1 pack of pens

we just need an algebra of elimination and substition to find the coat of each. like this:

pencils = C

pen = N

2 C + 3 N = 8.25 (times by 2)

5 C + 2 N = 11.00 (times by 3)

------------------------- - (we eliminate the N)

4 C + 6 N = 16.50

15 C + 6 N = 33.00

------------------------- -

-11 C = - 16.5

C = (-16.5) : (-11) = $ 1.50

so the price of 1 pack of pencils is $ 1.50

now we use subtitution to find the price of 1 pack of pens

2 C + 3 N = 8.25

2 (1.50) + 3 N = 8.25

3.00 + 3 N = 8.25

3 N = 8.25 - 3.00

3 N = 5.25

N = 5.25 : 3 = $ 1.75

so the price of 1 pack of pencils is $ 1.75

The area of a sector of an circle of a radius 5 cm, formed by an arc of length is 3.5cm. what is the answer
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

8.75cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the angle subtended by the arc

L = theta/360 * 2pir

3.5 = theta/360 * 2*3.14(5)

3.5 = theta/360 * 31.4

theta/360 = 3.5/31.4

theta/360 = 0.11146

theta = 0.11146 * 360

theta = 40.13 degrees

Area of the sector = theta/360 * pir^2

Area of the sector = 40.13/360 * 3.14*25

Area of the sector = 40.13/360 * 78.5

Area of the sector  = 8.75cm

Hence the area of the sector is 8.75cm²

m_a_m_a [10]

The measure of the angle m∠CBD that forms an adjacent angle is 35 degrees.

<h3>What are adjacent angles?</h3>

Adjacent angles are angles that have common side and vertex.

Therefore, the common vertex is at point B.

m∠CBD = m∠ABD -  m∠ABC

Therefore,

m∠ABD = 75 degrees

m∠ABC = 40 degrees

Hence,

m∠CBD = 75 - 40

m∠CBD = 35 degrees

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 5 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together they
madam [21]

Answer: The mechanic who worked 5 hours charged $45 per hour while the mechanic who worked for 15 hours charged $105 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the rate of mechanic who worked 5 hours

And y, the rate of mechanic who worked 15 hours

Represent the question in an equation

x + y = 150.............. equation 1

5x + 15y = 1800........equation 2

x + y = 150, x = 150 -y

Substitute the value of x into equation 2 to get y

= 5 (150 -y) + 15y = 1800

Then open the bracket

750 - 5y + 15y = 1800

750 + 10y = 1800

10y = 1800 - 750

10y= 1050 (divide both sides by 10)

y = 1050/10

y = 105

Substitute the value of y into equation 1 to get the value of x

x + 105 = 150

x = 150 - 105

x = 45

Therefore, the mechanic who worked 5 hours charged $45 per hour while the mechanic who worked for 15 hours charged $105 per hour.

I hope this is clear, mark as brainliest please
