Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
Letthenumberofpensbexand
numberofpencilsbey
then
x+y=16ory=16−x
andtheirvalue
8x+1.5y=50
8x+(
2
3
)(16−x)=50
8x+24−(
2
3
)x=50
8x−(
2
3
)x=50−24
(
2
13x
)=26∴x=4
theny=16−x=16−4=12
If we round it
1) 7 people
2) 4 people
3) 5 people
You either find the gradient or distance and if there are equal, therefore the opp are equal
B) (16 + 20)a - 18b
16a and 20a are both positive and 18b is the only negative it’s easier to add the positive with each other then the negative and a positive then add other positive
