Im not sure about my answer but i think you're suppose to do 6-2= 4 which equals 4

There are 53 regular pencils in the box and some colored pencils in the box. There are a total of 84 pencils. How many colored p

vodka [1.7K]

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.

If line AD is a tangent to circle B at point C, and m ABC = 55°, what is the measure of BAD?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

145°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you can get there:

1. ∠ACB is a right angle, 90°. Hence, ∠BAC is the complement of ∠ABC, so is ...

... ∠BAC = 90° -∠ABC = 90° -55° = 35°

Then, ∠BAC and ∠BAD are a linear pair, so total 180°. That makes ∠BAD the supplement of ∠BAC, so ...

... ∠BAD = 180° -35° = 145°

2. ∠BAD is the exterior angle at A for the triangle ABC. It will have a measure that is the sum of the opposite interior angles: given ∠ABC = 55° and right angle ACB = 90°.

... ∠BAD = 55° +90° = 145°

Solve the following equation by completing the square. 3x^2-3x-5=13

mr Goodwill [35]

we'll start off by grouping some

$\bf 3x^2-3x-5=13\implies (3x^2-3x)-5=13\implies 3(x^2-x)-5=13 \\\\\\ 3(x^2-x)=18\implies (x^2-x)=\cfrac{18}{3}\implies (x^2-x)=6\implies (x^2-x+~?^2)=6$

so we have a missing guy at the end in order to get the a perfect square trinomial from that group, hmmm, what is it anyway?

well, let's recall that a perfect square trinomial is

$\bf \qquad \textit{perfect square trinomial} \\\\ (a\pm b)^2\implies a^2\pm \stackrel{\stackrel{\text{\small 2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small a}^2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small b}^2}}{\downarrow }}{2ab} + b^2$

so we know that the middle term in the trinomial, is really 2 times the other two without the exponent, well, in our case, the middle term is just "x", well is really -x, but we'll add the minus later, we only use the positive coefficient and variable, so we'll use "x" to find the last term.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{middle term}}{2(x)(?)}=\stackrel{\textit{middle term}}{x}\implies ?=\cfrac{x}{2x}\implies ?=\cfrac{1}{2}$

so, there's our fellow, however, let's recall that all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0, so if we add (1/2)², we also have to subtract (1/2)²

$\bf \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)=6\implies \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2=6 \\\\\\ \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=6+\cfrac{1}{4}\implies \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=\cfrac{25}{4}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{25}{4}} \\\\\\ x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{5}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{1}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{6}{2}\implies \boxed{x=3}$
