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.
Answer:
53
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-36 • (22u + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Pulling out like terms :
2.1 Pull out like factors :
-74u - 5 = -1 • (74u + 5)
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(6 • (58u + 1)) - -6 • (74u + 5)
Step 3 :
Equation at the end of step 3 :
6 • (58u + 1) - -6 • (74u + 5)
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out 6
Note that -6 =(-1)• 6
After pulling out, we are left with :
6 • ( (-1) * (58u+1) +( (-1) * (74u+5) ))
Step 5 :
Pulling out like terms :
5.1 Pull out like factors :
-132u - 6 = -6 • (22u + 1)
Final result :
-36 • (22u + 1)
Answer:
a. 1.645 multiplier = 5% critical value
b. 95
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that in statistical analysis probability principles are often used. The critical value from the critical region indicates whether the statistician should reject or accept the null hypothesis.
Note that the confidence multiplier is a constant that shows the number of standard deviations in a normal curve; the deviation standard<em> implies the measure of difference between the observed value of a variable and some another value.</em>
