A student bought twice as many 10 − cent pens as 15 − cent pens. He also bought as many 20 − cent pens as both of the other two combined. How many of each kind did he get if he paid a total of 190 cents.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.
