He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.
Hope this helps
None... the points are scattered...
1/2 = 12/24
7/8 = 21/24
19/24 = 19/24
6/8 = 18/24
The only answer that is less than 15/24 is 12/24 which is equal to 1/2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there,
To solve this problem, we will need to isolate the variable by moving the variable to one side and the number to the other side.
1. - 16.5v - 19.94 = 19.39 - 9.6v <em>Rewrite the problem</em>
2. - 16.5v = 39.33 - 9.6v <em>Move the non-variable number to one side</em>
3. -6.9v = 39.33 <em>Isolate the variable</em>
4. v = - 5.7 <em>Divide by -6.9</em>
Thus, we can see the answer to this problem is v = - 5.7.
Have a good day,
Jamie
