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

Answer:

2nd statement describes the relation between graph of f(x) and graph of g(x).

Step-by-step explanation:  

We are told that graph of g(x)=f(x)-1 and we are asked to choose the correct statement that describes the relation between graph of f(x) and graph of g(x).

The rules for the translation are as follows:  

f(x-h)=\text{Graph shifted to right by h units}

f(x+h)=\text{ Graph shifted to left by h units}

f(x)+h=\text{ Graph shifted upward by h units}

f(x)-h=\text{ Graph shifted down by h units}    

Upon comparing our given translation with above rules we can see that our parent graph f(x) is shifted down by 1 unit to get our new graph g(x).

Therefore, graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated 1 unit down and 2nd option is the right choice.
