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.
Answer:
The amount Chris started within his savings is $44. option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount Chris saved = $xAmount spent on video games = 1/2xAdditional amount earned = $10Total = $321/2x + 10 = 32subtract 10 from both sides1/2x = 32 - 101/2x = 22divide both sides by 1/2x = 22 ÷ 1/2x = 22 × 2/1x = $44Therefore, the amount Chris started within his savings is $44. option C
Hope this helped !!!!
First term: a(1) = 4; common ratio: r = 2
Then:
a(n) = 4(2)^(n-1)
Check: Predict the 4th term using this formula:
a(4) = 4(2)^3 = 4(8) = 32 (correct)
-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
have a nice day
I think 12 might be the second one, I'm not sure though!
