Let no. of pens be x.
Pens : x
Pencils: x+8
Total: 2x+8
Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.
Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)
There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.
Answer: The answer is 60
Step-by-step explanation: 40% = .4 because % means hundredths. So 40% = 40/100 = .4
Let x be the total number of marbles.
Then, .4x = 24
Divide both sides by .4
x = 60 and 24 is 40% of 60 marbles

Answer: The equation to find the value of x = 3x+ 2= 5x-4
The value of x= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
The sum of 3 times the value of x and 2 is equal to four less than five times the value of x can be expressed as
3x+ 2= 5x-4
Step 2
Solving this equation to find the value of x , we have that
3x+ 2= 5x-4
3x-5x= -4-2
-2x= -6
x= -6/-2
x=3
