Answer:
Tim has 75 pencils and 25 pens
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this create a system of equations. To do so, first create an equation for the total number of utensils that he has. Let x equal the number of pencils and y equal the number of pens.
x+ y = 100
Now make one for the comparison of the two and solve for the constant.
x = 3y
x - 3y = 0
Now to solve the system, multiply the second equation by -1 and add them together.
x + y = 100
-x + 3y = 100
-----------------
4y = 100
y = 25
Now that we have the number of pens, find the number of pencils using an equation.
x + y = 100
x + 25 = 100
x = 75
Step 1
distribute the -3
-3(y-5)=24
-3y+15=24
step 2
subtract 15 from both sides
-3y =9
Step 3
divide -3 on both sides
y=-3
Answer: y

This is because slope intercept from is "Y= mx+b" :)
We need the graphing tool.
