Answer:

632 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the initial number of frogs were 56 that were already marked, and later on, the frogs collected were 600, out of which 24 were already marked, so we can say that the total number of frogs 'x' should be:

x = 600 + (56-24)\\

x = 600 + 32

x = 632

Hence, the total number of frogs should be 632.

There are 9 more pencils then pens in a container. There are 25 writing utensils in the container in all. How many pens are ther
VashaNatasha [74]
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.

-73 greater than or equal to 15 + 11x
Alecsey [184]
-73 ≥ 15 + 11x 
so the first thing you should do is to add -15 on both sides of the equation so you will have:
-73 -15 ≥ 11x 
- 88 ≥ 11x 
so the answer is:
-88/11 ≥ x or -8 ≥ x :)))
i hope this is helpful
