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 difference <br> A <br> B<br> C<br> D
aksik [14]

Answer:

D. \frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is;

\frac{x}{x^2+3x+2}-\frac{1}{(x+2)(x+1)}

This is the same as;

\frac{x}{(x+2)(x+1)}-\frac{1}{(x+2)(x+1)}

The denominators are the same.

Subtract the numerators and write one denominator;

\frac{x-1}{(x+2)(x+1)}}

Rewrite to get;

\frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}}
