Answer:

<em>123 pens in Box A</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we will rewrite the word problem as an equation...

5x (A)

x (B)

When Teddy moves 82 pens from A to B, he is subtracting 82 pens from Box A and adding 82 pens to Box B...

5x - 82 (Change in Box A - subtraction)

x + 82 (Change in Box B - addition)

The problem now states that Box A and Box B are equal...

5x - 82 = x + 82

--- subtract x from both sides ---

4x - 82 = 82

--- add 82 to both sides ---

4x = 164

--- divide both sides by 4 ---

x = 41 pens

Now, we replace the x in the expression "5x - 82" with 41...

5(41) - 82 = 205 - 82

205 - 82 = 123

123 pens in Box A

Hope this Helps!

What do the letters I and P and R mean in "IPRT"?
cupoosta [38]
So P stands for principle which is the amount of the original investment, R stands for rate which is the percent but must be turned into a decimal, T stands for time for example if the time was in a certain amount of months then you plug that in with x/12, and lastly I stands for interest which is the original investment outcome ^_^
