Answer:
−29−6+59
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c and n represent the numbers of pencil and pen boxes, respectively
.. 3c +2n = 6.00
.. 2c +4n = 8.00
You can halve the second equation and subtract it from the first to get
.. (3c +2n) -(c +2n) = 6.00 -4.00
.. 2c = 2.00
.. c = 1.00
Then
.. 1.00 +2n = 4.00 . . . . . half the original second equation with c filled n
.. 2n = 3.00
.. n = 1.50
A box of pencils costs $1.00; a box of pens costs $1.50.
Note: When I use the double equal sign, I mean the triple bar used with modular arithmetic
10^3 = 1000 == -1 (mod 1001)
10^3 == -1 (mod 1001)
(10^3)^672 == (-1)^672 (mod 1001)
(10^(3*672) == 1 (mod 1001)
10^2016 == 1 (mod 1001)
10*10^2016 == 10*1 (mod 1001)
10^2017 == 10 (mod 1001)
Final Answer: 10
