So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators

this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule

to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24

so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack

24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack


answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack

3  pencils per box.

The GFC of 72 and 24 is 24. 72 divide by 24 is 3, 24 divided by 24 is 1.

Therefore, there are 3 pencils and 1 calculator each box. To answer your question, 3  pencils per box.

makvit [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the properties of logarithms, the left side of the equation becomes

\log{3x^3} - \log{x^2} = \log{3x}

while the right hand side becomes

\log{27} - \log{x} = \log{\frac{27}{x}}

so we end up with

3x^2 =27 \Rightarrow  x = 3
