Answer: The cost of 16 pencils and 10 notebooks is $5.84.


Explanation: You can solve this using linear systems:

Let X be the cost per pencil, and let Y be the cost per notebook.

(1) 7x+8y=4.15
(2) 5x+3y=1.77

Choose a variable to eliminate. I’ll eliminate X first as an example. To eliminate a variable, you must have the same coefficient beside the variable for both equations.

Equation 1 now becomes:

(3) 35x+40y=20.75

Equation 2 now becomes:

(4) 35x+21y=12.39

Now that you have 35 as a coefficient for X in both equations, you can subtract the two equations to officially eliminate it!

(3)-(4)

19y=8.36
y=0.44

Now that you have the value of Y, substitute that value into either one of the equations to get X.

Substitute y=0.44 in (1)

7x+8(0.44)=4.15
7x+3.52=4.15
7x=0.63
x=0.09

Therefore, the cost per pencil is $0.09/pencil and the cost per notebook is $0.44/notebook.

Almost done lol...

To find the cost of 16 pencils, multiply 0.09*16. That gives you $1.44, which will be the cost of 16 pencils.
The cost of 10 notebooks is 0.44*10, which gives you $4.40. That’s the cost of 10 notebooks.

To find the total price, add these values together!

1.44+4.40=5.84

Therefore, the cost of 16 pencils and 10 notebooks is $5.84.

Hope that helps シ

Find fog(x) when f(x) = 2x² + x and g(x) = 3x + 2
nekit [7.7K]
For fog or f(g(x)), plug g(x) into f(x):

2(3x+2)²+x

Then simplify:

2( (3x+2)(3x+2) )+x

2( 9x²+12x+4 )+x

18x²+24x+8 +x

18x²+25x+8

Then you can simplify this further using factoring methods to:

(2x+1)(9x+8)

Hope this helps!! :)
