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
<span>( 5, 2) and ( 6, 4)
slope m = (4-2)/(6-5) = 2
y = mx + b
b = y - mx
b = 2 - 2(5)
b = 2 - 10
b = -8
so now you have slope m = 2 and y intercept b = -8
equation
y = 2x - 8
answer
</span><span>a. y = 2x - 8</span>
125 because it’s symmetrical between both
Answer:
29 nickels, 12 dimes
If the number of nickels is 7 less than three times the number of dimes, the answers should be 29 nickels and 12 dimes. Hope it helps!
