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.

Answer:

4x + 7 - ( x + 1)

Remove the bracket

We get

4x + 7 - x - 1

= 3x + 6

That's option B

Hope this helps.

Solve for y x=y^2+4y
Lorico [155]
x=y^2+4y\\ y^2+4y-x=0\\\Delta=4^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-x)=16+4x\\\\&#10;1.\ \Delta0\\&#10;\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16+4x}=\sqrt{4(4+x)}=2\sqrt{x+4}\\&#10;y_1=\frac{-4-2\sqrt{x+4}}{2\cdot1}=-2-\sqrt{x+4}\\&#10;y_2=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{x+4}}{2\cdot1}=-2+\sqrt{x+4}\\

-----------------------------------------------------

x=y^2+4y\\ y^2+4y-x=0\\&#10;y^2+4y+4-4-x=0\\&#10;(y+2)^2=x+4\\&#10;y+2=\sqrt{x+4} \vee y+2=-\sqrt{x+4}\\&#10;y=-2+\sqrt{x+4} \vee y=-2-\sqrt{x+4}\\

A rectangle’s length is 6 more than 4 times its width. If the perimeter is 42, how long is the rectangle
Ainat [17]

The Length of the rectangle is 18 unit.

<h3>What is the Perimeter of a Rectangle?</h3>

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)

Given the following:

Let x represent the width of the rectangle

Width of the rectangle = x

Length of the rectangle = 4x + 6

Perimeter of rectangle = 42 units

Therefore, we would write the following equation to find x based on the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle:

2(4x + 6 + x) = 42

2(5x + 6) = 42

10x + 12 = 42

10x = 42 - 12

10x = 30

10x/10 = 30/10

x = 3

The width (x) = 3.

Length of the rectangle = 4(3) + 6

Length of the rectangle = 18 unit.
