Well first you have to find the unit rate, or how many "p" each pencil costs. So you take 54 and divide it by 6, and you get 9. So each pencil costs 9 p, so you take 9 and multiply it by 8. That gets you 72, so 8 pencils cost 72p.
Answer:
Second one
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-5 is the expression that represents 5 less than twice x
n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers
the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]
twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12
The equation:
2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12
2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12
2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12 <em>use distributive property</em>
(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12
4n + 12 = 6n - 12 <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>
4n = 6n - 24 <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>
-2n = -24 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
n = 12
n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16
<h3>Answer: 12, 14, 16</h3>
