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

Graph ARST with vertices R(6, 6), S(3, -6), and T(0, 3) and its image after a
padilas [110]

Answer:

The answer is the second figure and the vertices of Δ R'S'T' are:

R' = (-6 , 6) , S' = (-3 , -6) , T' = (0 , 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some transformation

- If point (x , y) reflected across the x-axis

 ∴ Its image is (x , -y)

- If point (x , y) reflected across the y-axis

 ∴ Its image is (-x , y)

- If point (x , y) reflected across the line y = x

 ∴ Its image is (y , x)

- If point (x , y) reflected across the line y = -x

 ∴ Its image is (-y , -x)

- Now we can solve the problem

∵ R = (6 , 6) , S = (3 , -6) , T = (0 , 3), they are the vertices of ΔRST

- The triangle RST is reflected over the y-axis

- According to the rule above the signs of x-coordinates will change

∵ R = (6 , 6)

∴ Its image is (-6 , 6)

∵ S = (3 , -6)

∴ Its image is (-3 , -6)

∵ T = (0 , 3)

∴ Its image is (0 , 3)

* Now lets look to the figure to find the correct answers

- The image of Δ RST is ΔR'S'T'

∵ The vertices of the image of ΔRST are:

  R' = (-6 , 6) , S' = (-3 , -6) , T' = (0 , 3)

* The answer is the second figure
