Kamila buys a notebook for $1.59 and pens for $0.29 each. She spends $5.07.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

12 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable that can be used to determine the number of pens that Kamila bought be represented by n.

Price of a notebook = $1.59

Price a pen = $0.29

Total amount spent = $5.07

But,

1.59 + 0.29 n = 5.07

So that,

0.29 n = 5.07 - 1.59

0.29 n  = 3.48

n = \frac{3.48}{0.29}

  = 12

Therefore, Kamila bought 12 pens.

Use the distributive property -5 {x + 4} + -3x + -9x + -7
grin007 [14]

Answer:

-17x - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is the multiplication of the number outside the parenthesis and the ones inside.

-5(x + 4) + -3x + -9x + -7

-5x - 20 + -3x + -9x + -7

Combine like terms:

-5x - 20 + -3x + -9x + -7

-5x +-3x

 -8x + -9x

      -17x

-17x - 20 + -7

     -20 + -7

         -27

The answer is -17x - 27

Hope this helped.
