Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of writing utensils is 6, explaining the denominator. the numbers of pens added together is 5, explaining the numerator.
1/3(9x) =3x
1/3(18) =6
3x+6-5
Then you do
-(x)=-x
-(3)=-3
5x-x-3 = 4x-3
4x-3=3x+6-5
4x-3=3x+1
x=4
<u>answer:</u> 
<u>work:</u>
| subtract 5x and move it over to the 7x, and solve
| subtract 4 and move it over to the 10, and solve
| divide by 2
| final answer

Answer:
The three consecutive even integers are 4,6,8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive even integers be 2x, 2x+2, 2x + 4
Middle number = 2x +2
2x + 2x+2 + 2x + 4 = 4* (2x+2) - 6
6x + 6 = 4*2x + 4*2 - 6
6x + 6 = 8x + 8 -6
6x + 6 = 8x + 2
6x - 8x = 2 -6
-2x = -4
x = -4/-2
x = 2
The three consecutive even integers are
2x = 2*2 = 4
2x+2 = 2*2 +2 =4 + 2 = 6
2x + 4 = 2*2+4 = 4+4 = 8
