Haley is at the store buying some supplies for an art project. she decides to buy some colored pencils for $3.95 and a drawing tablet. the total cost of the supplies before sales tax is $6.94. what is the cost of the drawing tablet? $10.89 $2.99 $1.76 $3.01

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

80x^8−68x^6+16^5−20x^4−4x^3+8x^2

hope i'm right lol
