<h3>Answer:  13 pens</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Roy spends 1/4 of his money on 3 pens and 6 notebooks. That means 3/4 of it is leftover.

2/3 of 3/4 = (2/3)*(3/4) = 1/2 of his money is spent on buying some unknown number of additional pens. We'll come back to this later.

---------------

In terms of cost,

1 pen = 3 notebooks

which is another way of saying 1 pen is the same price as 3 notebooks.

Multiply both sides by 2 to get

2 pens = 6 notebooks

Therefore, saying "3 pens + 6 notebooks" is the same as "3 pens + 2 pens = 5 pens" when just thinking about costs.

---------------

In short, Roy buying 3 pens and 6 notebooks is the same as him buying 5 pens. He spends 1/4 = 25% of his money on getting these 5 pens.

Multiply those two values by 2 to find that 50% = 1/2 of his money would allow him to get 10 pens.

--------------

Recall that at the end of the first section, we concluded that Roy spent 1/2 of his money on buying those unknown additional number of pens. Then the previous section mentioned that 1/2 of his money gets him 10 pens. Therefore, he must have bought 10 additional pens on top of the original 3 mentioned in the instructions.

Overall, he purchased 3+10 = 13 pens

Answer:

  13 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

If a pen costs 3 times the cost of a notebook, then the cost of 3 notebooks will equal the cost of a pen. The 6 notebooks that Roy bought are equivalent in cost to 2 pens, so 1/4 of Roy's money is the cost of 3+2 = 5 pens.

After the first purchase, Roy has (1 -1/4) = 3/4 of his money remaining. If he spends 2/3 of that on more pens, he will have spent ...

  (2/3)(3/4) = 2/4

of his money on more pens. We've already seen that 1/4 of his money buys 5 pens, so 2/4 will buy 10 more pens.

Roy bought 3 +10 = 13 pens altogether.

What is the value of x? sin(x+34)°=cos(2x+20)°
vfiekz [6]
We know that
if sin A=cos B
then 
angle A and angle B are complementary angles
so
A+B=90 degrees
in this problem
(x+34)+(2x+20)=90-------> 3x+54=90----> 3x=90-54-----> x=36/3----> x=12°

the answer is
the value of x is 12 degrees

The midpoint of AB is M(3, 3). If the coordinates of A are (2, -1), what are the
Vika [28.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!

It's so simple.

While finding the coordinates of any point if the midpoint is there it will be much easier. You must remember the midpoint formulae.

Let's simply work with it.

Here, A (2,-1) and midpoint M(3,3) are given.

Let another coordinate be B(x,y).

By midpoint formulae,

midpoint(x.y) =  \frac{x1 + x2}{2}  ,\frac{y1 + y2}{2}

Putting their values,

m(3 , 3) =  \frac{2 + x}{2} , \frac{ - 1 + y}{2}

As they are equal, equating with their corresponding elements we get,

3 =  \frac{2 + x}{2}

6= 2 + x

x = 6-2

Therefore, the value of a is 4.

Again,

3 =  \frac{ - 1  + y}{2}

6 = -1 + y

Therefore, the value of y is 7.

Therefore, the coordinates are B (4,7)
