A)48
Explanation:
2^3 - 2^2 = 8 - 4 = 4
3^3 - 3^2 = 27 - 9 = 18
4^3 - 4^2 = 64 - 16 = 48
5^3 - 5^2 = 125 - 25 = 100
6^3 - 6^2 = 216 - 36 = 180
7^3 - 7^2 = 343 - 49 = 294
8^3 - 8^2 = 512 - 64 = 448
Answer:
pen = $1.20, pencil = $0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = pen
let y = pencil
create system of equations:
3x + 6y = 6.60 [can be simplified to be x + 2y = 2.20]
5x + 8y = 10.00
substitution method:
x = 2.2 - 2y
5(2.2 - 2y) + 8y = 10
11 - 10y + 8y = 10
-2y = -1
y = 1/2
solve for 'x':
3x + 6(1/2) = 6.6
3x + 3 = 6.6
3x = 3.6
x = 1.2
