Answer:

15 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

(You can write ratios with x because you are multiplying all parts of the ratio by the same amount in order for it to be the same ratio)

The ratio of pencils to pen is 3x:5x

If there are 10 more pens than pencils, and the ratio is 3x:5x, we see that the difference between 3x and 5x is 2x

So now we know that 2x = 10

so x = 5

Since x = 5, we plug in the number to 3x:5x which would be 3(5):5(5) which would be 15:25

So there are 15 pencils.

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any questions

Naddik [55]

The rate for the first is 1 job / 35 minutes and for the second is 1 job / 15 minutes.  So combined we get

r = 1/35 + 1/15

3×5×7r = 3 + 7 = 10

r = 10/(105) jobs per minute

We're interested in 1/r

1/r = 105/10 = 10.5 minutes per job

Answer: 10.5 minutes

Given f(x) = the quantity of 2x minus 2 divided by 4, solve for f−1(3).
spin [16.1K]
Given: f(x)=(2x-2)/4
find f^-1(3)?
we need to find the inverse of f(x), so
x=(2y-2)/4
2y-2=4x
y-1=2x
y=2x+1
so, then f^-1(x)=2x+1
f^-1(3)=2(3)+1
=6+1
=7
so, the answer is 7
