Gillian purchased 25 books at the library book sale. each hardcover book cost $1.50, and each paperback book cost $0.50. gillian spent a total of $26.50. the book costs can be represented by the system of equations below.

h + p = 25
1.50h + 0.50p = 26.50
how many paperback books did gillian buy?

11
12
13
14
11

A) 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Gillian purchased 25 books at the library book sale. Each hardcover book cost $1.50, and each paperback book cost $0.50. Gillian spent a total of $26.50. The book costs can be represented by the system of equations below.

h + p = 25   (1)

1.50h + 0.50p = 26.50  (2)

Here we need to solve the system of equations and find the p.

From the equation (1), we can rewrite

h = 25 -p [We solve for p]

Now plug in h = 25 - p in the second equation 1.50h + 0.50p = 26.50

1.50(25 -p) + 0.50p = 26.50

Used the distributive property a(b -c) = ab -ac and expand.

1.50(25) - 1.50p + 0.50p = 26.50

37.50 - 1.50p +0.50p = 26.50

Simplify the like terms.

37.50 - 1p = 26.50

This can be written as

1p = 37.50 - 26.50

p = 11

So the number of paper book Gillian buy is 11.

the answer is the option b

the range is all real numbers

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the absolute value parent function is equal to

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

so

a. it is v-shaped > is true

b. the range is all real numbers > is not true

because the range is the > [0,∞)

all real numbers greater than or equal to zero

c. it goes through the origin > is true

d. the domain is all real numbers > is true
