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

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

35° and 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a right rectagle is 180°, with a right angle of 90°.

The tell us that A = 2B-15, so:

180° = 90° + A + B

180° = 90° + 2B - 15 + B

180° - 90° + 15 = 2B + B

105° = 3B

B = 105°/3 = 35°

Now, let's find A:

A = 180° - 90° - 35° = 55°

I’ve attached my work below for #4
5) 8% is equivalent to 8 cents so each item was $1.08
Than you know he spent 16.20 so you divided
1.08/16.20 which equals 15
So he got 15 items
