If you factor it the answer would be (2x+1)(2x+5). Hope this helped.
Let x be the number of pens in a box.
Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14
Jill and Ben have the same pens.
Jill = Ben
3x+2 = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
1x = 12
x = 12
To check:
Jill = Ben
3x + 2 = 2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2 = 2(12) + 14
36 + 2 = 24 + 14
38 = 38
There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the numbers "<em>tu</em>", where<em> t</em> is the tens digit and <em>u</em> is the units digit.
We can solve this by the "brute force" method — examining each number to see if it satisfies the conditions.
Answer: x = 9/11
Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute 9 to x and -1
9x - 9 = 2
Then add 9 to both sides
9x = 11
Then divide both sides by 9
x = 9/11

80 degrees. 145 = (4x+5) + (6x-10) = 10x-5... so 10x = 150, x = 15. LMN = 6x-10 = 6(15) - 10 = 80.
