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

A shelf can be packed from end to end with 30 large books or 45 small books.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

since 30÷45 = 2/3 then

The space taken by a small book is equal to

the space taken by 2/3 a large book.

…………………………………………………

<u><em>Calculating the number of large book corresponding to 23 small books</em></u> :

= 23×(2÷3) + 3

= 18.333333333333 (large book)

Then ,Kevin can pack the shelf with (at most) : 30 - 19 = 11 more large books
