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 sum of 2.5+3.03
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: 5.53


Step-by-step explanation:

this is a straight forward addition

2.5+3.03 =5.53

to be clear or to specify, use the decimal point to make the sum:

2.5 = 2 + 0.5       and 3.03 = 3 + 0.03

2+3= 5      and  0.5 + 0.03 = 0.53

5 + 0.53 = 5.53 (but this is to long just to make it clear)

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,2) and (3,4)
Scrat [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y -2 = 2(x -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (4 -2)/(3 -2) = 2/1 = 2

The point-slope form of the equation for the line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

For the first point and the slope we found, the equation is ...

  y -2 = 2(x -2)

__

You can rearrange this to any form you may like.

  y -2 = 2x -4 . . . eliminate parentheses

  y = 2x -2 . . . . . slope-intercept form

  2x -y = 2 . . . . . standard form
