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.

Determine if each pair of ratios or rates is equivalent. Explain your reasoning. 288 miles on 12 gallons of fuel; 240 miles 10 g
lesantik [10]
Yes they are equivalent. This is because if you simplify each fraction : 288/12 and 240/10 they both equal 24.
\frac{288}{12}  = 24
\frac{240}{10}  = 24

Solve for : x 4(x+5)=3(x-2)-2(x+2)
Allushta [10]

Hey there!!

In order to solve this equation, we will have to use the distributive property.

What is distributive property?

We will need to distribute one term to the other terms preset.

Example : 4 ( 3x - 1 )

sing distributive property, we will have to distribute the term outside the parenthesis to the terms inside. In this case, we will have to distribute 4 to 3x and -1

( 4 × 3x ) + ( 4 × -1 )

12x + ( -4 )

= 12x - 4

This is after implementing the distributive property.

Now moving back onto the question

4 ( x + 5 ) = 3 ( x - 2 ) - 2 ( x + 2 )

Let us first solve 4 ( x + 5 )

Distribute 4 to x and 5

( 4 × x ) + ( 4 × 5 )

4x + 20

Now let's solve 3 ( x - 2 )

Distribute 3 to x and -2

( 3 × x ) + ( 3 × - 2 )

3x - 6

Solve for -2 ( x + 2 )

Distribute -2 to x and 2

( -2 × x ) + ( -2 × 2 )

-2x - 4

Now, let's get everything back together

4x + 20 = 3x - 6 - 2x - 4

Combine all the like terms

4x + 20 = x - 10

Adding 10 on both sides

4x + 20 + 10 = x - 10 + 10

4x + 30 = x

Subtracting 4x on both sides

4x - 4x + 30 = x - 4x

30 = -3x

Dividing by -3 on both sides

30 / -3 = -3x / -3

- 10 = x

<h2>x = - 10 </h2><h3>Hope my answer helps!</h3>

Given the set of vertices, determine whether parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square. List all that apply. A(7,-4),
Sloan [31]

Given:

Vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are A(7,-4), B(-1,-4), C(-1,-12), D(7, -12).

To find:

Whether the parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square.

Solution:

Distance formula:

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using distance formula, we get

AB=\sqrt{(-4-(-4))^2+(-1-7)^2}

AB=\sqrt{(-4+4)^2+(-8)^2}

AB=\sqrt{0+64}

AB=8

Similarly,

BC=\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(12-(-4))^2}=8

CD=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-12-(-12))^2}=8

AD=\sqrt{(7-7)^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8

All sides of parallelogram are equal.

AC=\sqrt{(-1-7)^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8\sqrt{2}

BD=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8\sqrt{2}

Both diagonals are equal.

Since, all sides are equal and both diagonals are equal, therefore, the parallelogram ABCD is a square.

We know that, a square is special case of rectangles and rhombus.

So, parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square. Therefore, the correct option is c.
