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:
2 scones per dollar
$0.50 per scone
Step-by-step explanation:
X^3 = 216
by taking cubic root for both sides
![\sqrt[3]{x^3} = \sqrt[3]{216}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E3%7D%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B216%7D%20)
x = 6
