Bill bought 4 pens for $12. which of the following equations shows the relationship between the cost of pens, c, and the number of pens, x, bought? what will the cost of 20 pens be?
options:
c = 3x, $12
x = 3c, $60
c = 3x, $60
x = 3c, $12

The answer to your question is: c = 3x, $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill bought = 4 pens for $12

equation cost vs # of pens (x)

Cost of 20 pens?

                           4 pens $12

                            1 pen         x

                           x = 1(12)/4

                          x = 3

Equation :

            cost = 3x

20 pens will cost

           cost = 3(20)

                   = $60

Answer : c = 3x, $60

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
