Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.
Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.
The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.
(8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)
-4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)
The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.
One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.

Answer:
The hypotenuse to the nearest tenth is 8.1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
Let a be the x leg and b be the y leg
a = 7 units
b= 4 units
7^2 + 4^2 = c^2
49+ 16 = c^2
65 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(65) = sqrt(c^2)
8.062257748 =c
To the nearest tenth
8.1 =c
Answer:
<u>Same side angles are supplementary</u>
L+k=180
18x-18+72=180
18x=126
x=7
m∠18(7)-18
= 108°
