Answer:

Pen: $0.03

Pencil: $0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the cost of 1 pencil

this means that the cost of a pen would be x + 0.11

Since she bought 250 pens and 250 pencils, that would be:

250x + 250(x + 0.11) = 42.5

solve:

250x + 250(x + 0.11) = 42.5\\250x + 250x +27.5=42.5\\500x = 15\\x = 0.03

This means that the cost of a pencil is $0.03 and the cost of a pen is 11 cents greater, so $0.14.

Lin solved the equation 8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17) incorrectly. Find the errors in her solution. What should her answer have been?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: The correr solution is x=\frac{17}{34}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the steps in Lin's solution are not shown, we are not able to find her erros. However, we can solve it step by step and find the correct result:

8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)

Firstly, in the left part of the equation we have to multiply 8 by the numbers inside the parenthesis; and in the right side we have to solve first what is inside the parenthesis:

8x-24+7=2x(-13)

Adding similar terms in the left side and multiplying 2x by the number inside the parenthesis in the right side:

8x-17=-26 x

Isolating x:

x=\frac{17}{34} This is the correct solution
