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.

On the set of axes below, draw the graph of y=x^2-4x-1
never [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  axis of symmetry: x = 2

  see below for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

You can complete the square to put the equation in vertex form.

  y = (x^2 -4x +4) -1 -4

  y = (x -2)^2 -5 . . . . . . vertex is (2, -5)

The equation of the axis of symmetry is the equation of the vertical line through the vertex:

  x = 2 . . . . . axis of symmetry

__

Points on the graph are easily found by using integer values on either side of x=2. Points on one side of the axis of symmetry are mirrored on the other side of it.

Missy’s rotation maps point K(17, –12) to K’(12, 17). Which describes the rotation?
Svetlanka [38]

Point K is in the 4th quadrant, then it goes into the first quadrant. So this means the rotation could be 90 degrees counterclockwise or 270 degrees clockwise.

The answer is 90 degrees counterclockwise or 270 degrees clockwise.

Suppose that work hours in new zombie are 200 in year 1 and productivity is $8 per hour worked. what is new zombie's real gdp? i
olasank [31]
Given that <span>work hours in new zombie are 200 in year 1 and productivity is $8 per hour worked.

The new zombie's real gdp in year 1 is given by 200 x $8 = $1,600

If work hours increase to 210 in year 2 and productivity rises to $10 per hour.

The new zombie's real gdp in year 2 is given by 210 x $10 = $2,100

The new zombie's rate of economic growth is given by

\frac{\$2,100-\$1,600}{\$1,600} \times 100\%= \frac{\$500}{\$1,600} \times100\%=31.25\%</span>
