Let x be the number of pens in a box.
Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14
Jill and Ben have the same pens.
Jill = Ben
3x+2 = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
1x = 12
x = 12
To check:
Jill = Ben
3x + 2 = 2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2 = 2(12) + 14
36 + 2 = 24 + 14
38 = 38
There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, combine like terms on the left side
4x-5x+9=5x-9
-x+9=5x-9
Subtract 9 on both sides
-x=5x-18
Subtract 5x on both sides
-6x= -18
Divide by -6 on both sides
x=3
Hope this helps! :)
