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:
Step-by-step explanation:
Believe it or not, the two areas are the same.
The base of the rectangle is PQ
The height of the rectangle is PS
Now look at the parallelogram.
The base is PQ
The height is PS
The area has to be the same in both cases. There is no other way to interpret what is happening.
