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.

7x - 20 = 2x - 3(3x + 2)
kirill [66]

Answer:

7x-20=2x-3(3x+2)

We move all terms to the left:

7x-20-(2x-3(3x+2))=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2x-3(3x+2)), so:

2x-3(3x+2)

We multiply parentheses

2x-9x-6

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-7x-6

Back to the equation:

-(-7x-6)

We get rid of parentheses

7x+7x+6-20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

14x-14=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

14x=14

x=14/14

x=1

Given the line with equation 7 − 2 = 8,
timurjin [86]

Hey there!!

The basic slope-intercept formula :

y = mx+ b where ' m ' is the slope and ' b ' is the slope-intercept.

Given equation : 7x - 2y = 8

We will have to isolate the ' y '

... 7x - 2y = 8

Subtract 7x on both sides

... -2y = -7x + 8

Divide by - 2 on both sides

... y = ( 7x / 2 ) - 4

Hence,

slope = 7/2 = 3.5

y-intercept = ( 0 , -4 )

Hope it helps!!

A high-performance composite flywheel rotor can spin anywhere between 30,000 and 100,000 revolutions per minute. What
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 revolution will equal 360 degrees

Because of that 30,000 revolution would be 10,800,000 degrees

100,000 rev would equal 36,000,000 degrees

The range through which the composite flywheel rotates in one minute be denoted by ' F ' . (1.08 x 107)° F (3.6 x 107)°
