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.
Answer: c) 2x² - 2x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 35 = 40
Subract 35 from both sides -5x + 35 - 35 = 40 - 35 = (-5x = 5)
Divide -5 from both sides -5x / -5 = 5 / -5 =
x = -1
Answer:
rate of exchange is -2/-2
Answer:
A -(27x + 7)
B -(15x + 8 )
C -9(2x + 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2 (30x + 16) = -15x-8
