Lance has three times as many pencils as Nick, and they have 84 pencils together. How many pencils does each of them have?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Let Lance represented by L and Nick represented by N

As per the statement:

Lance has three times as many pencils as Nick

⇒L = 3N         .....[1]

It is also given that:

They have 84 pencils together.

⇒L+N = 84               .....[2]

Substitute the equation [1] into [2] we have;

3N+N = 84

⇒4N = 84

Divide both sides by 4 we have;

N = 21

Substitute this in [1] we have;

L = 3(21) = 63

Therefore, Lance has 63 pencils and Nick has 21 pencils

Colton's Gym charges an initiation fee of
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

c = 40 + 50m

Step-by-step explanation:

40 is a constant, it is not affected by the number of months the person works out at the gym for.

There is a monthly fee of $50. So, every month Colton gets charged $50, so this is the variable.

The total cost would be represented by the equation c = 40 + 50m then.

Let's look at this using a number for m.

If Colton went to the gym for 2 months then we can set up the equation like this:

c = 40 + 50(2)

c = 40 + 100

c = 140

Therefore he spends a total of $140 for 2 months.

A grey squirrel population was introduced in a certain county of Great Britain 35 years ago. Biologists observe that the populat
zheka24 [161]
If this occurred over a span of 35 years and the population doubles every 7 years, we can divide 35 by 7 to find how many times the population has doubled, which would be 5 times. If we divide 60,000 by 2 (or multiply by 1/2) 5 times, you would get the answer, which would be 1,875.

AlladinOne [14]

He'll spend 138.91 dollars.

First multiply 427 and 231 to find out how much square feet you need to cover. Then divide the number by 3500 to see how many bags of fertilizer you need. Since there is a remainder, he'll have to buy another bag. Then, multiply the number of bags needed with the price of each bag to get the amount of money spent.
