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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3(5x - 7) = 47
2x + 15x - 21 = 47
17x - 21 = 47
17x = 68
x = 68/17
x = 4.
Exact form: 3/2
decimal form:1.5
mixed number: 1 1/2
