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

The H.C.F and the LCM of two numbers are 36 and 720 respectively. If one of the numbers is 180, which is the other number. *
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

let p(x)=180

LCM=720

HCF=36

WE HAVE TO FIND q(x)=?

as we know that

p(x)×q(x)=LCM×HCF

NOW WE HAVE TO FIND q(x)

q(x)=LCM×HCF/p(x)

q(x)=720×36/180

q(x)=25920/180

q(x)=144

i hope this will help you

Solve for x in the equation 2x2-5x+1=3
Butoxors [25]
2x^2 - 5x + 1 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides
2x^2 - 5x + 1  - 3 = 3  - 3

2x^2 - 5x - 2 = 0

Use quadratic formula with A = 2,  B =  - 5,   C =  - 2

x =  - b +- sqrt b^2 - 4ac/2a

x =  - ( - 5) +- sqrt (- 5)^2  - 4(2)( - 2)/(2)(2)

x =   5 +- sqrt 41/4

x =  5/4 + 1/4sqrt 41  or x = 5/4 + - 1/4 sqrt 41


Answer:  x = 5/4 + 1/4 sqrt 41
               x = 5/4 +  - 1/4 sqrt 41
