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.

Tony is making new numbers
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The biggest number he can make is 348. Hope this helps!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply 4 and 7 together to get 28. Since if we multiplied every number together, we would end up with a lesser number, since anything multiplied by 1 is itself. Therefore, you next add 1 to 28 to get 29. Finally multiply 29 by 12 to get 348.

in ABC the measure of angle A is 2x+3 the measure of angle B is 4x+2 the measure of angle C is 2x-1 what are the measures of the
Virty [35]


IN A triangle, sum of all angles = 180 degrees

2x + 3 + 4x+2 + 2x -1 = 180

8x +4  = 180

8x = 176

x = 176 /8 = 22 degrees

the angles are A = 2(22)+3 = 44+3 = 47 DEGREES

B = 4(22)+2 = 88 + 2 = 90 DEGREES

C = 2(22) -1 44-1 = 43 DEGREES
