Let be "x" the number of colored pencils in the box.

According to the information given in the exercise, there are 84 pencils in the box and 53 of them are regular pencils.

Knowing this information, you can set up the following equation:

x+53=84

Finally, you have to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value. In order to do this, you can apply the Subtraction property of equality by subtracting 53 from both sides of the equation:

\begin{gathered} x+53-(53)=84-(53) \\ x=31 \end{gathered}

The answer is: There are 31 colored pencils in the box.

Find the value of f(12) if f(x)=-2x+4
Contact [7]

Answer:

f(12) = - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(12), substitute x = 12 into f(x), that is

f(12) = - 2(12) + 4 = - 24 + 4 = - 20

In 2011, a U.S. Census report determined that 71% of college students work. A researcher thinks this percentage has changed sinc
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

a) Hо : p = 0.71

Ha : p ≠ 0.71

<em>p </em>= x / n

<em>p </em>= 91/110

<em>p </em>= 0.83.

1 - Pо = 1 - 0.71 = 0.29.

b) Test statistic = z

= <em>p </em>- Pо / [√Pо * (1 - Pо ) / n]

= 0.83 - 0.71 / [√(0.71 * 0.29) / 110]

= 0.12 / 0.043265

= 2.77360453

Test statistic = 2.77

c) P-value

P(z > 2.77) = 2 * [1 - P(z < 2.77)] = 2 * 0.0028

P-value = 0.0056

∝ = 0.01

P-value < ∝

Reject the null hypothesis.  There is sufficient evidence to support the researchers claim at the 1% significance level.

One angle of an isosceles triangle measures 138°. Which other angles could be in that isosceles triangle?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

2 21 degree angles

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosoles triangle has two congruent angles and every triangle's sum of interior angles equals 180 degrees. 138*2>180, so the 138 degree angle cannot be congruent to any of the other angles. Therefore:

180=138+2x

42=2x

21 degrees=x

Find the surface area of the pyramid. The side lengths of the base are equal. Square pyramid with base edge of 12 centimeters, a
sdas [7]

Answer:

the surface area of the square pyramid is 576.66 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the surface area of square pyramid is given below:

A = a^2  + 2a × √a^2 ÷ √4 + √h^2

where

a = 12 cm

h = 17 cm

Now put the value of a and h in the above formula

= 12^2 + 2(12) × √12^2 ÷ √4 + √17^2

= 576.66 cm^2

hence, the surface area of the square pyramid is 576.66 cm^2
