Which question do you need help on?
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.
For this case we must solve the following equation:
We apply distributive property on the right side of the equation:
We subtract 6y on both sides of the equation:
We subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
Dividing by 6 on both sides of the equation:
So, the result is
Answer:
Answer:
2 plus 3 equals 5 and add the zeros and you have 50
Answer:
y = 100 - 8(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
I. if n = 1 or 1st year = 100 - 8(1-1) is 100
if n = 2 or 2nd year = 100 - 8(2-1) is 92
if n = 3 or 3rd year = 100 -8(3-1) is 84
Hope it'll help.
