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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y - 7 = (x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Slope(m) = 1
Point: (-5, 7) = (x1, y1)
To write the equation in point-slope form, we need to know the slope and one point. Since we were already given the values of the slope and one point, all we have to do is input those values into the equation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 7 = 1(x - (-5))
y - 7 = (x + 5)
The equation in point-slope form is: y - 7 = (x + 5)
