3 laps in 2.5 minutes
1 lap = 2.5/3 minute
20 laps = (2.5/3)*20 = 16.67
20 laps ≈ 16.67 minutes
The equation looks like this:
26=x*3.5+8.50
where x is the number of pen you bought.
We solve it like this:
first, we subtract 8.50 from both sides:
17.50 =3.5*x
now we divide both sides by 3.5:
5=x
so you purchased 5 pens.
There’s no answer choices but i got log(28•3^1/3)
