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.

Name the property the equation illustrates (ab)3=a(b3)
Anvisha [2.4K]
The answer to this rests on knowing that there are four properties of multiplication (which your teacher will likely expect you to know...):

These are:
1. commutative
2. associative
3. multiplicative identity
4. distributive

I won't define each of these -- they should be in your notes or textbook. Look them up.

In this case, we are multiplying three terms together -- on the left hand side the parentheses mean to multiply a and b first, then multiply that by 3. On the right hand side, we multiply b times 3 first, and then multiply the product by a.

This would be an example of the associative property of multiplication: when three or more factors are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of how the factors are grouped.

Hope this helps!

Good luck
