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.

you bought 5 chocolate bars and 8 blow pops for $23.25 your sister bought 2 chocolate bars and 13 blow pops for 21.55 how much d
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

  • $2.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chocolate bar = c and blow pops = b

<u>As per given we have equations below:</u>

  • 5c + 8b = 23.25
  • 2c + 13b = 21.55

<u>13 times the first equation minus 8 times the second to eliminate b and find c:</u>

  • 13(5c + 8b) - 8(2c + 13b) = 13(23.25) - 8(21.55)
  • 65c - 16c = 129.85
  • 49c = 129.85
  • c = 129.85/49
  • c = 2.65

Each chocolate bar costs $2.65

Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 99
Illusion [34]
Let x be the first odd number.

Second odd number will be x+2

Proof:

If 3 (was) the first odd number, 3+2 would be the next which is 5.

So,

(x) (x+2) = 99
xsquare + 2x = 99
xsquare +2x - 99 = 0
xsquare +11x - 9x -99 = 0
x(x +11) -9(x + 11) = 0
(x+11) (x-9) = 0

So the two odd numbers were 9 and 11
