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

We know that that the water level is 3 feet below your deck. (-3)
When the tide goes out, the water level lowers 1 foot. (-1)
A storm surge comes in, the water level rises 2 feet. (+2)

New water level: -3-1+2= -4+2= -2
The new water level is 2 feet below the dock.

I believe it is b)
Because you always do rise over the run and if it goes right then it is positive and if it goes left it is negative.
