Answer:

Tim has 75 pencils and 25 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this create a system of equations. To do so, first create an equation for the total number of utensils that he has. Let x equal the number of pencils and y equal the number of pens.

x+ y = 100

Now make one for the comparison of the two and solve for the constant.

x = 3y

x - 3y = 0

Now to solve the system, multiply the second equation by -1 and add them together.

x + y = 100

-x + 3y = 100

-----------------

4y = 100

y = 25

Now that we have the number of pens, find the number of pencils using an equation.

x + y = 100

x + 25 = 100

x = 75

What is the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P?
Klio2033 [76]

The distance to the earth’s horizon from point P is 281.6 miles

<h3>How to determine the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P?</h3>

The tangent line from P meets the radius of the earth at a right angle.

This means that the triangle is a right triangle.

The length of x is then calculated as:

(3959 + 10)^2= 3959^2 + x^2

Rewrite as:

x^2 = (3959 + 10)^2- 3959^2

Evaluate

x^2 = 79280

Take the square root of both sides

x = 281.6

Hence, the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P is 281.6 miles
