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:
Michael: 24
Junior: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
8 is a multiple of 24, meaning if you ate 1/3 of 24 you get 16, which is doubled 8.
Ronald has 5 sets of three yellow beads, if there are 2 blue beads for every set, what is the total amount of blue beads?
Try this explanation:
Note, in the 1st row given '9x', in the 2d one - '9(0)', then it means the substitution '0' instead of 'x'. In other words <u>x=0</u> !
answer: x-intercept is '0', y-intercept is '12'
0.8 try that
Step-by-step explanation:
I think thats right
