Let no. of pens be x.
Pens : x
Pencils: x+8
Total: 2x+8
Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.
Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)
There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
95 city and 175 highway miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The driver gets 20 mpg in city, and 28 mpg on the highway.
An equation that could be written is
20x+28y=270
This equation accounts for the distance traveled.
x+y=11
This equotion accounts for how many gallons were driven.
Multiply the bottom equation by 20, so you can solve the set of equations.
20x+28y=270
20x+20y=220
subtract them
8y=50
y=6.25
now plug this back into x+y=11
x+6.25=11
x=4.75
Now 4.75×20=95 city miles and 6.25×28=175 highway miles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The square indicates that the total angle is 90 degrees so
d+59=90
d=90-59
d=31 degrees
