Answer:
- <u>120 pens and 200 pencils.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
You can set a system of two equations.
<u>1. Variables</u>
<u />
- x: number of pens
- y: number of pencils
<u>2. Cost</u>
- <em>each pen costs</em> $1, then x pens costs: x
- <em>each pencil costs</em> $0.5, then y pencil costs: 0.5y
- Then, the total cost is: x + 0.5y
- The cost of the whole purchase was $ 220, then the first equation is:
x + 0.5y = 220 ↔ equation (1)
<u>3. </u><em><u>There were 80 more pencils than pens</u></em>
Then:
pencils = 80 + pens
↓ ↓
y = 80 + x ↔ equation (2)
<u>4. Solve the system</u>
i) Substitute the equation (2) into the equation (1):
ii) Solve
iii) Substitute x = 120 into the equation (2)
Solution: 120 pens and 200 pencils ← answer

Arithmetic sequences have a common difference between consecutive terms.
Geometric sequences have a common ratio between consecutive terms.
Let's compute the differences and ratios between consecutive terms:
Differences:

Ratios:

So, as you can see, the differences between consecutive terms are constant, whereas ratios vary.
So, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Answer:
(a) ΔWZY ~ ΔWXZ ~ ΔZXY
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for the similarity statement to be correct, the corresponding sides need to be listed in the same order.
A: ΔWZY lists sides in order short leg (WZ), long leg (ZY).
ΔWXZ lists sides in order short leg (WX), long leg (XZ).
ΔZXY lists sides in order short leg (ZX), long leg (XY).
The first similarity statement is correct.
__
You can compare this to an incorrect one, the last one, for example.
ΔYZW lists sides in order long leg (YZ), short leg (ZW).
ΔXZW lists sides in order long leg (XZ), hypotenuse (ZW). Hypotenuse and short leg are not corresponding sides, so the similarity statement is incorrect.
