Answer:
There are 75 pencils and 25 pens.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Tom has three times as many pencils than pens then,
Pencils = 3(Pens)
If there are a total of 100 writing utensils then,
Pencils + Pens = 100
Substitute the word "pencils" in this equation to 3(Pens),
3(Pens) + Pens = 100
Now remember there is almost a 'hidden' one beside the word "Pens" so,
3Pens + 1Pens = 100
Add the two together,
4Pens = 100
Divide,
Pens = 25
Substitute 25 into the first equation,
Pencils = 3(25)
Pencils = 75
Thus, there are 75 pencils and 25 pens.

Thenks and mark me brainliest :))
27+3x-31=20
-4+3x=20
+4 +4
3x=24
X=8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-23=87
add 23 to both sides
5x=110
divide both sides by 5
x=22
To check your answer...
5(22)-23=87
110-23=87
87=87
