Not including tax, a total of 19 pens and markers cost $11.50. The pens cost $0.25 each, and the markers cost $0.75 each. Write the system of equations that could be used to solve for the number of pens (p) and the number of markers (m) bought.
p+m=Response area
Response areap+ Response aream=Response area
0.25p + 0.75m = 11.50
p + m = 19
0.25p + 0.75m = 11.50
the bot only had one equation, it asked for a system
I apologize for the mistake. Here's the correct system:
p + m = 19
0.25p + 0.75m = 11.50
Again, the bot is just repeating my answer, called plagiarism

hey bot, that's exactly what you said the last time you did that.

hi
To write the system of equations, we need to consider the given information:
1. The total cost of 19 pens and markers is $11.50 (not including tax).
2. Each pen costs $0.25.
3. Each marker costs $0.75.
Let's use the variables "p" for the number of pens and "m" for the number of markers.
We can write the first equation based on the information about the total cost:
0.25p + 0.75m = 11.50
This equation represents the total cost of pens and markers.
The second equation can be derived from the fact that there are a total of 19 pens and markers:
p + m = 19
This equation represents the total number of pens and markers.
So, the system of equations that could be used to solve for the number of pens (p) and the number of markers (m) bought is:
0.25p + 0.75m = 11.50,
p + m = 19.
