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 function h(x) is defined as shown.
pav-90 [236]
1. For x<3, h(x)=x+2

now x+2 is an increasing line (a practical way to check, h(1)=3, h(2)=4)

the largest value it takes is at 3, not inclusive, so h(3)=5 not inclusive.

Range_1= (-∞, 5)

2. for x> or equal to 3, h(x)=-x+8, which is a decreasing line (check h(4)=4, h(5)=3 )

so this line takes its maximal value at x=3, f(3)=5 and then takes any other value to -∞.

Range_2=(-∞,5]

3. Range(h)=Range1∪Range2=(-∞, 5)∪(-∞,5]=(-∞,5]      (B)

M angle 3= 31°. Find m angle 4 (complementary angle)
solniwko [45]

Hi, there.

  ________

\boxed{\begin{minipage}{8cm} Complementary angles \\ Complementary angles  are angles whose sum \\ is 90^\circ. \text{Using this info, let's consider this:} \\ \text{If an angle's measure is 31 degrees, what's} \\ \text{its \ complement?}\end{minipage}}

\text{Set up an equation, letting a be the unknown angle}

\bold{a+31=90}\\\text{Subtract 31 from both sides}\\\bold{a=59}

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!
