Answer:
what ???
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
21 pencils for Nick and 63 pencils for Lance
Step-by-step explanation:
- Lance is said to have 3 times the pencils Nick has.
- Let's keep the number of pencils Nick has as x.
- If Nick has x pencils that means Lance has 3x pencils.
- The total number of pencils present is 84.
Now let's make an equation out of the information above:
3x + x = 84
Now solve for x.
3x + x = 84
4x = 84
x = 84/4
x = 21
So Nick has 21 pencils
Now for Lance:
3x
3 * (21) = 63
So Lance has 63 pencils
63 + 21 = 84 pencils
