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

What is the simplified expression for Negative 3 (2 x minus y) + 2 y + 2 (x + y)?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

7y - 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (2x-y)+2y+2(x+y)\\

Step 1:  Open the brackets

= -6x+3y +2y +2(x+y)\\=-6x +3y + 2y +2x + 2y

Step 2: Bring the similar variables together

=-6x +2x \ +3y + 2y + 2y

Step 3: Simplify by adding/subtracting the coefficients of the similar variables

= - 4x +7y

Step 4: Rearrange as required.
