Answer:

Erin has 7 pens and James as 28 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let e = the number of Erin's pens

Let j = the number of James' pens

e + j = 35 j = 4e

substitute in 4e for j in the first equation above.

e + j = 35

e + 4e = 35

5e = 35 Divide both sides by 5

e = 7 Plug 7 in for e in either equation above.

j = 4e

j = 4(7)

j = 28

15 points for someone who can answer & explain this to me thanks

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{9}{a^2+9a+20}$ , $\frac{7a}{a^2+11a+28}$

Factor the denominators of both fractions

$\frac{9}{(a+4)(a+5)}$ , $\frac{7a}{(a+4)(a+7)}$

The lowest common denominator of both fractions is (a + 4)(a + 5)(a + 7)

Multiply numerator/denominator of first fraction by (a + 7)

Multiply numerator/denominator of second fraction by (a + 5 )

$\frac{9(a+7)}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)}$ , $\frac{7a(a+5)}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)}$ , then

$\frac{9a+63}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)}$ , $\frac{7a^2+35a}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)}$

Evgen [1.6K]

Plug 50 into y and find x.

5x + 10 (50) = 800
5x + 500 = 800
5x = 800 - 500
5x = 300
x = 300 ÷ 5
x = 60
