6x+1y=9.20 (x=pencils since he bought 6 pencils, y=pen since he bought one pen)
2x=y (the cost of two pencils equals to one pen since a pen costs twice as much)

now you just solve with substitution

6x+1(2x)=9.20
6x+2x=9.20
8x=9.20
x=1.15 (now you know that one pencil costs 1.15 dollars, now substitute that into the other equation)

2(1.15)=y
2.30=y (now you know then pen costs 2.30 dollars)

so your answer is
a) $1.15
b) $2.30

A 16-inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate of 0.8 inches per hour. Let t represent the number of hours since the candl
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The initial length of the candle is 16 inch. It also given that, it burns with a constant rate of 0.8 inch per hour.

After one hour since the candle was lit, the length of the candle will be (16 - 0.8) = 15.2 inch.

After two hour since the candle was lit, the length of the candle will be (15.2 - 0.8) = 14.4 inch. The length of the candle after two hours can also be represented by {16 - 2(0.8)}.

Hence, the length of the candle after t hours when it was lit can be represented by the function, f(t) = 16 - 0.8t. f(t) = 0 at t = 20.

b.

The domain of the function is 0 to 20.

c.

The range is 0 to 16.

A falcon flying 55 mph crosses a lake in 1 minute. How long would it take a hummingbird flying 45 mph to cross the same lake?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1 2/9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

55 mph

55 / 60 = 11/12

11/12 of a mile = 1 minute

45 mph

45 / 60 = 3/4

3/4 of a mile = 1 minute

11/12 divided by 3/4

11/12 * 4/3

We can cross-cancel

11/3 * 1/3 = 11/9 = 1 2/9

It takes 1 2/9 minutes for the hummingbird to cross the lake

Hope this helps!

(Please let me know if I did something wrong!)
