How do you answer Ray bought 15 pencils for 7.75 Some cost 45 each the rest 65 each How many of each did Ray buy. Answer step by step please?

x= # of pencils that cost .45 y= # of pencils that cost .65 So now you need 2 equations for 2 variables: 15= x+y This equation is saying: 15 total pencils bought= pencils that cost .45 + pencils that cost .65 The second equation is: 7.75= .45x + .65y This equation is saying: total money spent (7.75)= price of pencils (.45) times # of pencils + price of pencils (.65) times # of pencils Then you combine these two equations, but first switch around the first equation to look like: y=15-x Then you replace the "y" in the second equation by putting in what y equals the first equation: 7.75= .45x + .65(15-x) Then distribute and solve for x: x = 10 Then enter 10 into the first equation for x to figure out y: y= 15- 10 y= 5 So your answer is-- Ray bought 10 pencils that cost .45 and 5 pencils that cost .65

Is it possible to arrange seven pencils in a manner such that each pencil touches every other pencil?

Why dont you see the pencils moving in towards each other?

Pencils are not attracted to each other through magnetic or gravitational forces. The pencils may appear stationary because the forces of friction between the table and the pencils prevent them from moving. Additionally, the force created by your hands placing the pencils on the table may also keep them in place.


Are two pencils actually pulling on each other?

No, two pencils are not actually pulling on each other. The force of gravity between the two pencils is negligible due to their relatively small masses. Any perceived interaction between the pencils is a result of external forces acting on them, such as friction or air resistance, rather than a gravitational pull between the pencils themselves.
