Answer: Choice C.
============================================
Explanation:
The domain is the set of all allowed x inputs.
Here we see that x = -3 is the smallest x value possible as it is from the left-most point. The graph goes on forever to the right, so there is no largest x value. Effectively infinity is the largest x value even though infinity is not a number.
We can say the domain is which can be simplified to
or
In short: x can be -3 or larger.
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:
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:
The answer is: There are 31 colored pencils in the box.
