<em>x = markers</em>
<em>y = colored pencils</em>

12x = y

x= 72
y = 6

Okay, so what I did was divide 78 by 12 (to find the number of colored pencils) which gave me 6.5. You can't have half a colored pencil, so I rounded the number down to get 6. To find the number of markers, I multiplied 12 and 6 <em>(12x = 6) </em>which gave me 72. To check my answer I added the two amounts, 72 + 6, which gave me 78.

An equation is shown below:

Multiple 6 with numbers inside paranthesis:
12x - 66 + 15 = 21
add 66 fhen substrack 15 from both sides :
12x = 72 divide both sides with 12:
x = 6

How do you factor this equation?<br> 7x²+5x-3
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic expression.  Use the quadratic formula to find the roots, and then once you have the roots, write the corresponding factors.

The coefficients of this quadratic expression are a = 7, b = 5 and c = -3

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 5^ - 4(7)(-3), or 25 + 84 = 109.  Because this is positive, we know that the expression has two unequal, real roots.

Using the quadratic formula, we now find these roots:

      -b ± √(discriminant)

x = --------------------------------   which here is:

                   2a

      -5 ± √109

x = -----------------

             14

The factors can be found from these two roots.  The first one is

      -5 - √109                  5 + √109

(x - ---------------- )  =  (x + ---------------- )

             14                              14

and the second is

        5 - √109              

(x + ---------------- )  

             14

Isabel ran around the track 6 times at the same rate of speed . It took her 24 minutes to run. John took 3 minutes to run around
Tcecarenko [31]
She ran 6 times 
1 time is 24/6=4 min
John ran the fastest because 3 is faster than 4

i thought of a number. if i subtract 6 from it and multiply the difference by 4 the result is 36. find the number that i thought
SVEN [57.7K]
Since the difference*4=36, the difference = 9
since the number-6= the difference, the number-6=9
Thus the number is 15
