Answer:
2,310
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:
let x the number of pencils
y the number of pens
From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,
x = y + 9
From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,
x + y = 25
We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,
y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17
Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.

Answer: Arun is now 20, Shree is 10 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
In the system of equations Arun's age is a. Shree is s
a = 2s .(current age equation) Subtract 5 from each for five years ago,
a-5 = 3(s-5) . Substitute 2s for a in the second equation
2s -5 = 3(s-5) distribute and reorganize
2s-5 = 3s -15 . 15 - 5 = 3s - 2s
10 = s . Substitute into the first equation to find a
a = 2(10)
a = 20
5 years ago Shree was 5 and Arun was 15
