Answer:

There are 75 pencils and 25 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Tom has three times as many pencils than pens then,

Pencils = 3(Pens)

If there are a total of 100 writing utensils then,

Pencils + Pens = 100

Substitute the word "pencils" in this equation to 3(Pens),

3(Pens) + Pens = 100

Now remember there is almost a 'hidden' one beside the word "Pens" so,

3Pens + 1Pens = 100

Add the two together,

4Pens = 100

Divide,

Pens = 25

Substitute 25 into the first equation,

Pencils = 3(25)

Pencils = 75

Thus, there are 75 pencils and 25 pens.

How do I determine if a function is even, odd, or neither​
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The way to do is dow below

Step-by-step explanation:

You may be asked to "determine algebraically" whether a function is even or odd. To do this, you take the function and plug –x in for x, and then simplify. If you end up with the exact same function that you started with (that is, if f (–x) = f (x), so all of the signs are the same), then the function is even.

Julio ​says, "If you subtract 13 from my number and multiply the difference by -3​, the result is -54 ​." What is Julios​'s ​num
Alchen [17]

Answer:Julios​'s ​number is 31

suppose: Julios​'s ​number is x

because Julio ​says, "If you subtract 13 from my number and multiply the difference by -3​, the result is -54 ​"

=> we have: (x - 13).(-3) = -54

                 <=>  x  - 13 = (-54):(-3) = 18

                   <=> x = 18 + 13 = 31

                   <=> x = 31
