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:
A. 2^11
Step-by-step explanation:
(They are basically asking what's 2^4 × 2^7, but with more words.)
I usually do each exponent individually:
2^4 is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 (or you could have read the text to figure that out)
2^7 is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 128
Then just multiply 128 and 16 to get 2,048, and see which option also gives you 2,048.
BUT, you can also:
(Combine the exponents together to get your answer. Just remember that if it's multiplication you add them, and if it's division you subtract them.)
2^4 × 2^7
4 + 7 = 11
2^11 (This equals 2,048 btw. You don't even have to check all the options to get the answer).
Hope this helps friend :)
The last part I learned from another user, while answering one of your other questions. I personally find this mind blowing, lol.
Is it adding ,subracting,mulipty,or divide
Answer:
Given the sequence 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, . . . find the 60th term.
------
nth term pattern: a(n) = 20 + (n-1)4
60th term: a(60) = 20 + 59*4 = 256
