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.
The circumference of the given circle would be 125.6 cm. This is due to finding the circumference is multiplying it’s diameter by PI (3.14) giving you the total circumference of the circle.
For a rational number to have a terminating decimal expansion
q should be in the form 5^m and 2^n or both. If q is not in the form of either then it is a non terminating recurring decimal expansion
The statement that would be considered be as true is "<span>In a regular hexagon, the length of the radius is the same as the length of a side. In addition, a hexagon could be sliced forming triangles that are equilateral therefore having the same length of sides and similar interior angles. </span>
