In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:
let x the number of pencils
y the number of pens
From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,
x = y + 9
From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,
x + y = 25
We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,
y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17
Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.
Answer:
8. x = 16
9. x = 10

m ∠RSU = 130°
m ∠UST = 50°
15.
m ∠RSU = 124°
m ∠UST = 56°
Step-by-step explanation:
8.
Given ∠DEF is bisected by EG. That is , ∠DEG = ∠GEF
That is , (x + 15)° = 31°
x = 31 - 15 = 16
9.
Given ∠DEF is bisected by EG. That is , ∠DEG = ∠GEF
That is ,
(6x - 4)° = 56°
6x = 56 + 4
6x = 60
x = 10
14.
13x + 5x = 180° [straight line angles ]
18x = 180
x = 10
m ∠RSU = 130°
m ∠UST = 50°
15.
4x + 12 + 2x = 180° [ straight line angles]
6x = 180 - 12
6x = 168
x = 28
m ∠RSU = 4(28) + 12 = 112 + 12 = 124°
m ∠UST = 2(28) = 56°
