Answer:
13 pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the pens and y be the pencils
Given:
Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95.
Total pens and pencils is 22
So,
----------------(1)
And he bought all utensils for $11.95. and each pen for 75 cents and pencils for 40 cents.
------------(2)
solve equation 1 and equation 2 for x and y.
From equation 1.

----------------(3)
put y value in equation 2.







Now substitute x value in equation 3.


So, he buy 13 pencils.
Hi Student!
This question is fairly simple because it gives us an equation and they also give us a value for the variable that is within the equation and they tell us evaluate the expression. So let's plug in the values and solve.
<u>Plug in the values</u>
<u>Factor out the exponent</u>
<u>Combine</u>
Therefore, the final answer that we would get when substituting m with 9 in the given equation is that we get 86.
(√3 + 1)/8 the answer to the question
0.15x + x <(or equal to) 50
Where x is the meal's cost (no tip included)
50 - 15% = 42.5.
x >(or equal to) 42.50.
