Tanya distributes pencils to students in her class for an upcoming test. The number of pencils she hands out is given by the equation p = 3s, where p is the number of pencils and s is the number of students. If there are 16 students in Tanya's class, how many pencils did she distribute? A) 8
B) 18
C) 3
D) 48

d) 48

Step-by-step explanation:

equation is p=3s and 'p' is the number of pencils and 's' being the number of students.

since the question asks us how many pencils she distributed, we have to substitude a number into the equation to make it true.

lets solve for each variable first:

p=?

s=16

we know both of the variables so all we have to do is apply it into the equation.

p=3(16) which is the same as 3 × 16

p=48

therefore tanya distributed 48 pencils (d)

you didn't give me the choices, so i will just give you the graph so you can look at your choices and choose the right one.

sas (side angle side)

aa(angle angle)

sss(side side side)

sas you have to find two sides with an angle in between

aa you find two angles because it will always add up to 180

sss find all sides
