Answer:  Yes, Daniel has enough money to buy 2 pens.

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

Explanation:

x = cost of one pencil

y = cost of one pen

4x = cost of 4 pencils

3y = cost of 3 pens

4x+3y = cost of 4 pencils and 3 pens

100 - (4x+3y) = amount Daniel has left = 7 dollars

100-(4x+3y) = 7 is one equation we can form

Another equation we can form is x = y+3 because "each pencil costs $3 more than each pen".

Let's plug that into the first equation and solve for y.

100-(4x+3y) = 7

100-(4(y+3)+3y) = 7

100 - (4y+12+3y) = 7

100 - (7y+12) = 7

100 - 7y - 12 = 7

-7y + 88 = 7

-7y = 7-88

-7y = -81

y = -81/(-7)

y = 11.57 is the cost of one pen

2y = 2*11.57 = 23.14 is the cost of two pens.

Since this is less than $25, this means he has enough to buy two pens. This assumes that we either ignore tax, or the tax is already included in the listed prices.

What is the answer to 4|x-1|=12
STatiana [176]

Answer:

(4,0) and (- 2,0): Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value questions have two essential steps.

1. Solve the equation as it is written.

2. Solve it changing the sign of the right hand side. I will include a graph to confirm my answer

4*abs(x - 1) = 12             Divide by 4

  • abs(x - 1) = 12/4            
  • abs(x - 1) = 3                  Equate this to 3
  • x - 1 = 3                          Add 1 to both sides
  • x - 1 + 1 = 3 + 1               Combine
  • x = 4

4*abs(x - 1) = - 12         Divide by 4

  • abs(x - 1) = - 12/4
  • abs(x - 1) = - 3
  • x - 1 = - 3                       Add 1 to both sides
  • x - 1 + 1 = -3 + 1
  • x = - 2

So this has 2 answers

(4,0) and (- 2,0)

A class consists of 63 women and 86 men. If a student is randomly selected, what is the probability that the student is a woman?
solmaris [256]
First, we need to get the total number students by adding the number of men and women. 63 + 86 = 149. This is the total number of samples. To get the probability that a randomly selected is a woman, we can write the ratio as 63:149 or the probability is 63/149.
