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

PSYCHO15rus [73]
<span>This is a very nice counting question. Suggestion / Hint: Count how many ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7) by going through the point (2,3). Then subtract that from ALL POSSIBLE ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7). Hint for the hint: How many ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7) by going through the point (2,3)? Well, that's the SUM of how many ways he can get from (0,0) to (2,3) and how many ways he get get from (2,3) to (5,7). Hope this helps! :)</span>

What is the equation of the line that passes through point(7, -8) and has a slope of zero? A. y =7B. x = 7C. x = -8D. y = -8
Bond [772]

y = -8

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

since m = 0, the term mx = 0

since the line passes throug (7, -8) then y = -8
