X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
The answer is 4.51 and what needs to be added to 4.5 is a .01
Answer:
SSS
Step-by-step explanation:
Only sides are given, not angles, so you know it's side-side-side
Given that Sara put 7 boxes in her closet.
So number of boxes = 7
Then it says that each box is for holding a different type of seashell. So far, there are 0 shells in each box.
So the number of seashell in 1 box = 0
We need to find about how many shells does Sara have.
To find that we will just multiply (number of boxes) by (number of seashell in 1 box). Which is given by 7 times 0.
we know that product of a number and 0 is always 0.
Hence final answer is 0 seashell.
