Hannah went to the school store to buy supplies and spent $16. She bought four more pencils than pens and two fewer erasers than

pens. Pens cost $1.25 each, pencils cost $0.55 each, and erasers cost $0.75 each. If x represents the number of pens Hannah bought, write an equation in terms of x that can be used to find how many of each item she bought. Use your equation to determine algebraically how many pens Hannah bought.

The algebaraic equation required is :

2.55x + 0.7 = 16

The number of pens Hannah bought is 6

If :

x = number of pens

4 more pencils Than pens ; Number of pencils = x + 4

2 fewer erasers than pens ; number of erasers = x - 2

Total amount spent = $16

The total number of items bought is :

(x) + (x + 4) + (x - 2)

Multiplying by the cost of each :

1.25x + 0.55(x+4) + 0.75(x-2)

Hence, Total amount spent can be represented as :

1.25x + 0.55(x+4) + 0.75(x-2) = 16

1.25x + 0.55x + 2.2 + 0.75x - 1.50 = 16

2.55x + 0.7 = 16

The algebraic equation is : 2.55x + 0.7 = 16

The number of pens Hannah bought can be calculated thus :

2.55x + 0.7 = 16

2.55x = 16 - 0.7

2.55x = 15.30

x = 15.30 / 2.55

x = 6

If you choose one student at random, what is the probability (±0.0001) that the student's score is between 20 and 30?
nordsb [41]
Z-score for 30 = (30 - 25) / 5.8 = 0.8621
z-score for 20 = (20 - 25) / 5.8 = -0.8621

Arrange the hyperbolas in increasing order of the horizontal widths of their asymptote rectangles.
almond37 [142]

The  increasing order of the horizontal widths of their asymptote rectangles is dependent on the values gotten from  y = ± x.

<h3>What is a Hyperbola?</h3>

This is defined as a two-branched open curve formed by the intersection of a plane perpendicular to the bases of a double cone.

The rectangular hyperbola has two asymptotes which are defined as y = ± x in this scenario.

Does it help to remember and/or list out your square roots
ololo11 [35]
It is a good thing to remember. Of course, not all, but some basic numbers that appear all the time such as the numbers from 2 to 13 should be remembered as they appear in numerous assignments and tests.
