Serena bought 4 packs of pencils and 12 notebooks
for fall semester which cost her $60.00. She then
bought 14 packs of pencils and 7 notebooks for
spring semester which cost her $70.00. How much
did each pack of pencils and each notebook cost?

Step-by-step explanation:

that is what it said the correct answer was

pencil (x) = 3.00, notebook (y) = 4.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let pencils be denoted using 'x', and notebooks 'y'.

4x+12y = 60, 14x+7y=70

Let us use the method of elimination. However, neither variable has the same coefficient, so let us multiply the first equation using 7, and the second using 2.

7(4x+12y = 60) => 28x+84y=420

2(14x+7y=70) => 28x+14y=140

Let us subtract the second equation from the first. This eliminates the first variable x, and gives the equation 70y=280

Dividing either side of the equation by 70, we get y=4.

If we substitute (plug in) y=4 for the first equation we get x=3

i = 2 / - 5

step-by-step explanation:

evaluation of ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q ) when p = 2 and q = 5 i, by putting values of p and q,                                                                    

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
