Answer:

Explanation:

the expression would be 24-7x=9.65

You would subtract 24 from 9.65 because of inverse operation which is -14.35. Then divide -7 from that and the answer is 2.5, so she spent 2.50 on each pencil.

24-7x=9.65

Answer:

Since she had a total amount of money and spent some, but is left with 10$, we can first subtract 24-10 to get how much she spent- $14. Now the total of 14$ got her 7 pencils. If we divide 14$ between 7 pencils each pencil cost 2$.

i hope this answer your question
