Answer:

  • Book -$20/11 and pencil - $17/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the set price of pencil be p and the set price of book be b

<u>Then we have equations:</u>

  • 2p + 6b = 14
  • 4p + 1b = 8

<u>Simplify the first equation:</u>

  • p + 3b = 7

<u>And substitute p in the second equation: p = 7 - 3b</u>

  • 4(7 - 3b) + b = 8
  • 28 - 12b + b = 8
  • 11b = 20
  • b = 20/11

<u>And finding value of p:</u>

  • p = 7 - 3(20/11) = 1/11(77 - 60) = 17/11

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>A = Area of First Rectangle </em></u>

<u><em>B = Area of Second Rectangle </em></u>

<u><em>w = Width</em></u>

<u></u>

12(w)=320+B (1st Equation)

8(w) = B (2nd Equation)

w=B/8 <em><u>(Plug this value of w into the first equation)</u></em>

12B/8 = 320 +B <u><em>(you get this)</em></u>

12B= 2560 + 8B <u><em>(Simplify)</em></u>

4B = 2560

B =640 <em><u>plug this value into the 2nd equation</u></em>

8(w) = 640

w = 80

<em>To Test This</em>

12x80 = 960

8x80 = 640

<h3>960 - 640 = 320 <u><em>Therefore the answer is correct the width is 80</em></u></h3>
