Answer:
I think the answer is 81.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical angles are congruent.
x + 3 = 84
- 3 = -3
--------------
x = 81
Since there are 26 students in Mr. Carson's class, and each kid gets 3 pencils, that means we will multiply 26 and 3, in which we get 78. Now, since boxes of pencils only contain a dozen, which is 12 pencils, we will divide 78 by twelve, in which we get 6.5 boxes. You can't buy half a box, so he will need 7 boxes, since having 6 boxes means that you don't have enough pencils.
Hope this helps!
