Answer:

$7.20

Step-by-step explanation:

If 8 pens cost $3.84, we need to find out how much ojne pen costs.

To find out the cost of one pen we need to divide $3.84 by 8.

$3.84 / 8 = $0.48

1 pen cost $0.48

We then need to work out the cost of 15 pens. So from using the information that one pen costs $0.48 we can multiply that by 15 to find out the answer.

$0.48 x 15 = $7.20

15 pens cost $7.20

<h3>2 Answers: Choice B and Choice D</h3>

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

Explanation:

Standard form will always have the largest exponents listed first on the left side. Then as you move to the right, the exponents will decrease. Choice B shows this with the exponents counting down (3,2). Choice D is a similar story with the exponents counting down (9,2,1,0). Think of -6x as -6x^1, and also think of the 10 as 10x^0.

Something like choice A is a non-answer because the term with the largest exponent 3 is buried in the middle, and not at the left side. The exponents are not in decreasing order. Choice C can be ruled out for similar reasons.

Side note: the largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial. This only applies to single variable polynomials.
