Mr spears was purchasing supplies for his math classroom. He had $25 to spend. Mechanical pencils and erarsers come in bundles of 10. Each eraser costs $.50. Fill in the missing place in the equation to compute the cost of each mechanical pencil

(X + 0.50) = 25

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!

since they come in bundles of 10,
10(x + 0.50) <= 25.00

TYSM @oobleck

the answer is 10

To compute the cost of each mechanical pencil, you need to find the value of X in the equation (X + 0.50) = 25.

To solve this equation, start by isolating X on one side of the equation.

Subtract 0.50 from both sides of the equation to remove it from the left side:

(X + 0.50) - 0.50 = 25 - 0.50

This simplifies to:

X = 24.50

Therefore, the cost of each mechanical pencil is $24.50.
