Alright, lets get started.

Suppose Steve have number of pencils = x

Martha has 4 times as many as Steve

Hence, Martha have number of pencils = 4 x

So, total number of pencils they both have = x + 4x

So, total number of pencils they both have = 5 x

As per given in question, number of total pencils are 85.

So,

5x = 85

Dividing 5 in both sides

\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{85}{5}

x = 17

It means setve have 17 pencils

Martha has pencils = 4 * 17 = 68

Steve has 17 and Martha has 68 pencils. : Answer

Hope it will help :)

d1i1m1o1n [39]
With the number being x, we have 3x^2>6(x/9). Expanding, we get 3x^2>6x/9 and 3x^2>2x/3. Dividing by x, we get 3x>2/3 and dividing by 3 we get x>2/9
