Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.
Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.
The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.
(8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)
-4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)
The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.
One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4−(2y+5)=3(1−4y)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4−(2y+5)=3(1−4y)
4+−1(2y+5)=3(1−4y)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
4+−1(2y)+(−1)(5)=3(1−4y)
4+−2y+−5=3(1−4y)
4+−2y+−5=(3)(1)+(3)(−4y)(Distribute)
4+−2y+−5=3+−12y
(−2y)+(4+−5)=−12y+3(Combine Like Terms)
−2y+−1=−12y+3
−2y−1=−12y+3
Step 2: Add 12y to both sides.
−2y−1+12y=−12y+3+12y
10y−1=3
Step 3: Add 1 to both sides.
10y−1+1=3+1
10y=4
Step 4: Divide both sides by 10.
10y

Answer:
h(x)= x^2+11x+30
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic function is in the form h(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.
Since the zeros are -6 and -5, take the opposite signs and add them to the variable x separately.
It should look like this: h(x)= (x+6)(x+5)
Since this is the factored form, we have to solve this equation further.
h(x)= (x+6)(x+5)
h(x)= x^2+6x+5x+30
h(x)= x^2+11x+30
The answer is b.) sorry if I’m wrong but I did the work and got b.)
If he puts in $25 every month and there are 12 months in one year, just multiply 25 by 12 to find that Maurice will save $300 a year.
