Answer: the cost of each pencil is $0.5
the cost of each eraser is $0.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one pencil.
Let y represent the cost of one eraser.
Becky spent $1.45 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers. This means that
2x + 3y = 1.45- - - - - - - - - -1
Luke spent $2.65 for 5 pencils and 1 eraser. This means that
5x + y = 2.65- - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
2x + 3y = 1.45
15x + 3y = 7.95
Subtracting, it becomes
- 13x = - 6.5
x = - 6.5/- 13
x = 0.5
Substituting x = 0.5 into equation 2, it becomes
5 × 0.5 + y = 2.65
2.5 + y = 2.65
y = 2.65 - 2.5
y = 0.15
Answer:
The number is 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Convert words into an expression</u>
Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty
(3n) + 10 = 20
<u>Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides</u>
3n + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10
3n = 10
<u>Step 3: Divide both sides by 3</u>
3n / 3 = 10 / 3
n = 10/3
Answer: The number is 10/3
Take the root of both sides, and then solve.
c = sqrt a^2 + b^2, - sqrt a^2 + b^2.
The answer is one kilogram. one kilogram is about the same as 2 pounds, while one gram is less than an ounce.
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
3n-5=(-8*6)+(-8*5n) distributive property
3n-5=-48-40n
3n+40n=-48+5 add property
43n=-43 add property
43n/43=-43/43 division property
n=-1
