That is true because the square root of 32 is about 5.66, so 4.65 IS less than it.
In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:
let x the number of pencils
y the number of pens
From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,
x = y + 9
From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,
x + y = 25
We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,
y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17
Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.

Explanation:
You can check your answer by making sure that each of the primes you found is actually a prime. (Compare to a list of known primes, for example.) After you have determined your factors are primes, multiply them together to see if the result is 73. If so, you have found the correct prime factorization.

<em>Additional comment</em>
73 is prime, so its prime factor is 73.
73 = 73
