Let x be the number of pens in a box.
Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14
Jill and Ben have the same pens.
Jill = Ben
3x+2 = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
1x = 12
x = 12
To check:
Jill = Ben
3x + 2 = 2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2 = 2(12) + 14
36 + 2 = 24 + 14
38 = 38
There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.
erform a simple calculation to match the screen size of a standard TV to that of a widescreen TV. If you currently have a 4:3 TV and you want to continue watching 4:3 on a widescreen TV, multiply the diagonal length of the older TV model by 1.22. The result would be the diagonal screen size that the widescreen TV would have to be to match the old model.
<span>Say you have a 40 inch (102 cm) TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio, but you're thinking about upgrading and you don't want your screen size to get smaller. You'd need to get at least a 50 inch (127 cm) screen to view in 4:3 without your picture getting smaller. That's because 1.22 x 40 = 49. Since 49 inch TVs are generally not made, you'd need to go up to 50 inches (127 cm).</span>

First Question: 147 mi
Cross multiplying,
Answer:
(a) Equations for both
--- lifeguard
--- camp counselor
(b) Total pay for 5 days
Lifeguard pays $800
Camp counselor pays $375
(c) Which pays more
Lifeguard job pays more
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Given
Lifeguard job
Camp counselor job
Solving (a): The equation for both
The total pay for each job is calculated as:
Total Pay = Signing Bonus + Rate * Hours
So, we have:
Lifeguard
Camp counselor
Solving (b): Total pay for 5 days
First, we calculate the total hours worked in 5 days
So, the pay for each is:
--- Lifeguard
--- camp counselor
Solving (c): Which job pays more
By comparing the solution in (b)
<em>Hence, lifeguard job pays more</em>
