Let no. of pens be x.

Pens : x
Pencils: x+8

Total: 2x+8

Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.

Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)

There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.

Devy likes to learn! Could someone please tell me how to answer this question?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that if two functions, <em>f</em> and <em>g</em>, are inverses, then by definition:

\displaystyle f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x

Hence, the graph of f(g(x)) should be simply <em>y</em> = <em>x</em>.

Therefore, our answer is B, as both coordinates are equivalent for all three points.

Find the value of each variable in the parallelogram
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

B= 90

C= 80

D= 100

Step-by-step explanation:

So let’s start with the bottom angles.

We know that the adjacent angles in a parallelogram add up to 180° so our equation would be (b-10) + (b+10)=180. So let’s simplify it b and b are both the same variables so we will get 2b and -10 + 10 is 0 so we get the following equation 2b=180.

So now we divide 180 and 2 and we get 90 as b.

So one side will be 100 because of the +10 and the other 90 because of the -10.

Now for the next side.

d+c=180

So we know that b+10 is adjacent to c so 180-100 is 80, so 80 is c.

Now for d.

b-10 is 80 so 180-80 is 100, so d is 100.

7p-(3p+4)= -2(2p-1) + 10<br> Solve each equation.
Aliun [14]
Perform the indicated multiplication:

<span>7p-(3p+4)= -2(2p-1) + 10

becomes 

7p - 3p - 4 = -4p + 2 + 10

Group like terms:

7p - 3p + 4p = 2 + 10 + 4

           8p      =   16 => p = 2 (answer)</span>
