Answer:
n - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(n-1)(n-5) / 2(n+3) ×2(n+3) / (n-5)
Kindly check attached picture for simplification
Let n = cost of 1 notebook
Let p = cost of 1 pencil
Then,
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
You can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute into the remaining equation.
3n + 4p = 8.5
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
Multiply the top equation by -2 so that the p-containing terms cancel each other out:
-2(3n + 4p = 8.5)
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
-n + 0 = -2.5
So after dividing both sides by -1, we see that n = $2.5. Plugging into the first equation gives p = $0.25.
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
I hope this helps you
slope=m
(-3,4) x'=-3 y'=4
(4,-1) x"=4 y"=-1
slope formula :
m. (x'-x")=y'-y"
m. (-3-4)=4-(-1)
m.-7=4+1
m=-5/7
