Answer:

Jenny has 4 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Jenny has pencils = x

Arthur has pencils = 5x+6 (Arthur has 6 more than 5 times the number of pencils as Jenny. )

Total pencils = 30

We need to find how many pencils does Jenny have.

We basically can write the equation:

Total pencils = Jenny pencils + Arthur pencils

Putting values and solving to find value of x:

30=x+5x+6\\30=6x+6\\30-6=6x\\24=6x\\=> 6x=24\\x=\frac{24}{6}\\x=4

So, we have value of x = 4

Now, finding number of Jenny pencils:

Jenny has pencils = x = 4

Therefore, Jenny has 4 pencils.

identify the equation that does not belong with the other three. explain your reasoning. 6+x=9 | 15= x+12 | x+9 =11 | 7+x=10
Katena32 [7]
Answer is x+9=11

6+x=9
x=3

15=x+12
x=3

7+x=10
x=3

x+9=11
x=2

So x+9=11 has a different x value than the rest of the equations. So it doesn't belong with the other three.
