Answer:

Nick = 21 pencils

Lance = 63 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick = N

Lance = 3N

Nick + Lance = 84

Substitute

N + 3N = 84

Add

4N = 84

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

N = 21

Nick = 21 pencils

Lance = N(3) = 21(3) = 63 pencils

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Let Lance represented by L and Nick represented by N

As per the statement:

Lance has three times as many pencils as Nick

⇒L = 3N         .....[1]

It is also given that:

They have 84 pencils together.

⇒L+N = 84               .....[2]

Substitute the equation [1] into [2] we have;

3N+N = 84

⇒4N = 84

Divide both sides by 4 we have;

N = 21

Substitute this in [1] we have;

L = 3(21) = 63

Therefore, Lance has 63 pencils and Nick has 21 pencils

The solution to the problem and how would I work it out?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

x >=5  or x <=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve an absolute value inequality

3|x-1| >= 12

Divide each side by 3

3/3|x-1| >= 12/3

|x-1| >= 4

Now there are two solutions

x-1 >= 4   or x-1 <= -4

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 >= 4+1   or  x-1+1 <= -4+1

x >=5  or x <=-3

A halloween assorted bag of candy contains 4 Snickers, 2 packages of M&amp;M's, &amp; 3 Butterfingers. What is the probability o
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

2/27

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question we have:

4 snickers

2 packages of M&M's

3 Butterfingers.

Total number of candies in the Halloween bag = 9

Probability of selecting some M&M's and putting them back = 2/9

Probability of selecting a Butter finger = 3/9

Therefore, the probability of selecting some M&M's, putting them back, and then selecting a Butterfinger =

Probability of selecting some M&M's and putting them back × Probability of selecting a Butter finger

2/9 × 3/9

= 6/ 81

= 2/27
