Answer:
P(x) = 3x - 150
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
Given:
R(x) = 5x
C(x) = 2x + 150
P(x) = 5x -(2x+150)
P(x) = 5x - 2x -150
P(x) = 3x - 150 <- Answer
Let no. of pens be x.
Pens : x
Pencils: x+8
Total: 2x+8
Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.
Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)
There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.
The greatest number of the sets you can make are 32 sets
