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:
See below ~
Step-by-step explanation:
Completing the square :
- 9y² - x - 18y + 10 = 0
- 9y² - 18y + 9 - 9 - x + 10 = 0
- <u>(3y - 3)² - x + 1 = 0</u>

Answer:
c. 5 - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
a. -15 - 3 = -18
b. -3 - (-9) = 6
c. 5 - 17 = -12
d. -6 - (-6) = 0
Omg I wish I could help I am not in this top level ♂️
Answer:
The jelly beans cost $2.25 / pound
The trail mix costs $1.25 / pound
Step-by-step explanation:
Let +a+ = cost/pound of jelly beans
Let +b+ = cost/pound of trail mix
(1) 6a + 2b =16
(2) 3a + 5b =13
Multiply both sides by 2
and subtract (1) from (2)
(2) 6a -2b = -16
(1) -6a -2b = -16
8b=10
b=1.25
and
(1) 6a+2b=16
(1) +3a+b=8
(1) 3a+1.25=8
(1) +3a=6.75
(1) a=2.25
