Let x be the number of pens in a box.

Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14

Jill and Ben have the same pens. 
Jill        = Ben
3x+2    = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
      1x  = 12
         x = 12

To check:
Jill            =       Ben
3x + 2      =       2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2  =       2(12) + 14
36 + 2      =       24 + 14
           38 = 38

There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.

Find parametric equations for the sphere centered at the origin and with radius 3. Use the parameters s and t in your answer.
sdas [7]
Radius, r = 3

The equation of a sphere entered at the origin in cartesian coordinates is

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r^2 

That in spherical coordinates is:

x = rcos(theta)*sin(phi)
y= r sin(theta)*sin(phi)
z = rcos(phi)

where you can make u = r cos(phi) to obtain the parametrical equations

x = √[r^2 - u^2] cos(theta)
y = √[r^2 - u^2] sin (theta)
z = u

where theta goes from 0 to 2π and u goes from -r to r.

In our case r = 3, so the parametrical equations are:

Answer:
x = √[9 - u^2] cos(theta)
y = √[9 - u^2] sin (theta)
z = u

Sophia determined that the expression Negative (4 x minus 5) + 2 (x minus 3) is equivalent to –2x – 5 by using the steps below.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:Hope This Helps ☺️

Step-by-step explanation:

She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CASE 1: substitute 1 for x to both sides of the equations

L.H.S

-(4x-5)+2(x-3)

-(4 (1) - 5)+ 2(1-3) = - (-1) + 2(-2) = 1 - 4 = -3

R.H.S

-2x - 5

-2(1) - 5 = -2-5 = -7

Hence for x= 1

-(4x-5)+2(x-3) ≠ -2x -5

Because -3 ≠ -7

CASE 2: substitute -1 for x to both sides of the equations

L.H.S

-(4x-5)+2(x-3)

-(4 (-1) - 5)+ 2(-1-3) = - (-9) + 2(-4) = 9 - 8 = 1

R.H.S

-2x - 5

-2(-1) - 5 = 2-5 = -3

Hence for x= -1

-(4x-5)+2(x-3) ≠ -2x -5

Because 1 ≠ -3

Answer:

She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1

5 squares are placed end to end as below (see pic). What is the perimeter of the rectangle formed by the squares?
Nataly_w [17]
2b: If x is 2.1, then one side of the rectangle is 2.1, and another is 2.1*5=10.5.  Thus, the perimeter is 2*(2.1+10.5)=2*12.6=25.2.

3: One side of the square with side-length three will not be on the outside, so we have 3*3=9 inches perimeter from the square of side-length 3.  The square of side-length 6 has 3 from the top side missing from the outer perimeter, because it coincides with a side of the square of side-length three.  This square contributes 6*4-3=33 inches.  The total perimeter is 33+9=42 inches.
