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: G = 2E + 3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let E represent Elena's age.
Then Gary(G) is two times Elena(E) plus 3 --> G = 2E + 3

Answer: 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Both lines are being cut by the same transversal so to solve for x, make both equations equal to each other
2x+10 = 3x-15
To isolate x, do the inverse operations (for any side chosen)
Do the inverse operations to move -15 and isolate 3x
Add 15 to 10 (10+15=25)
You now have 2x+25=3x
Now, do the same to combine the x values together
25=3x-2x
You now have 25=1x
Divide by 1 on both sides
25=x
