Answer:

50 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

2.19/12 = .18

3.99/40 = .09975

4.75/50 = .095

10/100 = .10

Although with mark-up to the hundredths place, there wouldn't be a logical difference is stores...

Answer:

50 for $4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to determine the unit cost of each pencil:

price of pack / number of units = cost per pencil

1. $2.19 / 12 = $0.1825

2. $3.99 / 40 = $0.09975

3. $4.75/ 50 = $0.095

4. $10 / 100 = $0.10

The correct answer is $4.75 for 50 pencils because it is the lowest per unit cost.

2x-1=3/4x+9<br> Help Me Brainilist to whoever explains the best
alexdok [17]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

normally it would be 2x-1=\frac{3}{4}x+9 so now we have to combine the x into one fraction which will be 2x-1=\frac{3x}{4}+9 now for my way i will be taking the -1 to the other side and when that happens its going to become positive so now the answer will be 2x=\frac{3x}{4}+10 ok so now we have to have the x's to the same side so i have to drag the fraction to the other side and making it positive which will conclude into 1.25x=10 and now 10 divided by 1.25 is 8 so the answer is x=8 (sorry for the ok nows) hope this helped

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1  and x^2+(-8)x=9

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation x^2-8x-9

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is ax^2+bx+c=0

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant D=b^{2}-4ac

D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

Now, substituting the values we will get

x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1

And rewritting the given equation by  shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

x^2+bx=c
