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 :)

1.How much taller Porter is than Henry, given that Porter is n inches tall and Henry is m inches tall. 2.How many times as tall
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Porter is n-m inches taller than Henry.

Porter is \frac{n}{m} times taller than henry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in height can be found using subtraction.

Since Porter is taller than Henry, we'll subtract away Henry's height from Porter's height. This will leave us with only the difference between the heights.

n = Porter's height

m = Henry's height

Difference in height is thus:

n-m

Answer: Porter is n-m inches taller than Henry.

To find out how many times taller Porter is than Henry, we can use division.

An example: if Porter was 200cm, and Henry was 100cm, Porter is obviously 2 times as tall.

If we divide Porter's height by Henry's height...

\frac{200}{100}=2

..we'll get 2. This is because Henry's height "fits in twice" in Porter's height. 100 fits twice in 200.

Using our values, n and m, we'll divide n by m.

\frac{n}{m}

Answer: Porter is \frac{n}{m} times taller than henry.

Solve for x, and refer to the attached image.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

7+5x

so basically what you have to do is take the 7 and subtract from both sides

so like this: 7-7 is 0 so that cancels then 47-7 is 40

then you take 5x and divide 40 by 5

so x=8

hope this helped!
