Let p be the prize of a pen and m the prize of a mechanical pencils. If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you spend 6p+m. We know that this equals 9, because you get 1$ change from a 10$ bill.
Similarly, if you buy four pens and two mechanical pencils, you spend 4p+2m, which is 8$, because now you get a $2 change. Put these equation together in a system:
Now, if you multiply the first equation by 2, the system becomes
Subtract the second equation from the first:
Plug this value into the first equation to get
Answer:
x = 14
m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° = 96°
m∠SOR = (5x + 14) = 84°
Step-by-step explanation:
`From the given picture,
Angle SOP and angle SOR are the linear pairs.
Therefore, sum of these angles will be equal to to 180°.
m∠SOP + m∠SOR = 180° -----(1)
Since, m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° and m∠SOR = (5x + 14)°
[There is a misprint in this question. There should be x in place of y in the measures of the angles]
By substituting these values in the equation (1),
(7x - 2) + (5x + 14) = 180
12x + 12 = 180
12x = 180 - 12
12x = 168
x =
x = 14
m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° = 96°
m∠SOR = (5x + 14) = 84°
