X = dull pencils 
y = sharp pencils
x + y = 100
y = x + 16 ~~Plug this back into your original x+y equation.
x+x+16=100 ==> 2x = 84 ==> x = 42. Plug this back into the y = equation
 y = 42 + 16 ==> y = 58.

42 Dull, 58 sharp.

How can you determine congurence and similarity
leonid [27]
Here you go :) AA (Angle-Angle) If two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. We know this because if two angle pairs are the same, then the third pair must also be equal. When the three angle pairs are all equal, the three pairs of sides must also be in proportion.
