Hope this helps you
In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:
let x the number of pencils
y the number of pens
From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,
x = y + 9
From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,
x + y = 25
We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,
y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17
Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.
Answer:
8x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
any letter will mean 1
Answer:
x^2-3x-54
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+6)(x-9) Setup the roots
x^2-9x+6x-54 FOIL out the terms
x^2-3x-54 Add like terms together
Ex: l -3 l = 3.
the two vertical lines on either side stand for absolute value, or the distance to 0 from the given number.
THE ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE POSITIVE (except...)
however, if there is a negative sign on the OUTSIDE of the bars, the answer will be NEGATIVE.
ex: - l -4 l = -4
ex: l -4 l = 4
