Joanna went school supply shopping she spent $35.98 on notebooks and pencils notebooks cost $2.30 each and pencils cost $1.42 each she bought a total of 21 notebooks and pencils how many of each did she buy

Joanna bought 7 notebooks and 14 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x denote the number of notebooks and y denote the number of pencils Joanna bought.

Cost of one notebook = $ 2.30

Cost of one pencil = $1.42

Step 2 :

Total of notebooks and pencils bought  = 21

=> x + y = 21 => y = 21-x

Total cost of notebooks and pencils = $35.98

=> 2.3x + 1.42y = 35.98

Substituting y = 21- x here , we have,

2.3x + 1.42 ( 21-x) = 35.98

2.3x + 29.82 - 1.42x = 35.98

0.88 x = 6.16

=> x = 7

y = 21-x = 21-7 = 14

Step 3 :

Answer :

Joanna bought 7 notebooks and 14 pencils

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions
