Answer:16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be X
Twice the sum of a number and 5
= 2X+5
Three times the difference of the number and 2
= 3(X - 2)
Since Twice the sum of X and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the X and 2, This means
2(X + 5 )= 3(X - 2)
2X +10 = 3X - 6
3X -2X = 10 + 6 = 16
X = 16
Check
2×(16+5) =3×(16-2)
2×21 = 3×14
42 = 42
well first the complement I 90-19=71
and supplement is 180-19=161
Answer:
There are 75 pencils and 25 pens.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Tom has three times as many pencils than pens then,
Pencils = 3(Pens)
If there are a total of 100 writing utensils then,
Pencils + Pens = 100
Substitute the word "pencils" in this equation to 3(Pens),
3(Pens) + Pens = 100
Now remember there is almost a 'hidden' one beside the word "Pens" so,
3Pens + 1Pens = 100
Add the two together,
4Pens = 100
Divide,
Pens = 25
Substitute 25 into the first equation,
Pencils = 3(25)
Pencils = 75
Thus, there are 75 pencils and 25 pens.
