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:
1. (x - 3)² = 8
2. (x + 2)² = 3
3. (x + 6)² =
4. (x + 3)² = 27
5. (x + 4)² = 13
6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Completion of Square:
In the following problems the terms in the RHS of the above equation may be missing. We balance the equation. Simplify it and re write it in terms of LHS.
1. x² - 6x + 1 = 0
Taking the constant term to the other side, we get:
x² - 6x = - 1
⇒ x² - 2(3)x = -1
⇒ x² -2(3)x + 9 = - 1 + 9 [Adding 9 to both the sides]
⇒ x² -2(3)x + 3² = 8
⇒ (x - 3)² = 8 is the answer.
2. 3x² + 12x + 3 = 0
Note that the co-effecient of x² is not 1. We make it 1, by dividing the whole equation by 3. And then proceed like the previous problem.
3x² + 12x = -3
Dividing by 3 through out, x² + 4x = - 1
⇒ x² + 2(2) + 4 = -1 + 4
⇒ x² +2(2) + 2² = 3
⇒ (x + 2)² = 3 is the answer.
3. 2x² + 24x = 29
x² + 12x =
⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 36 = + 36
⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 6² =
⇒ (x + 6)² = is the answer.
4. x² + 6x - 18 = 0
x² + 6x = 18
⇒ x² + 2(3)x = 18
⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 18 + 9
⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 3² = 27
⇒ (x + 3)² = 27 is the answer.
5. x² + 8x + 3 = 0
x² + 8x = -3
⇒ x² + 2(4)x = -3
⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 3 + 16
⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 13
⇒ (x + 4)² = 13 is the answer.
6. 9x² - 30x + 6 = 0
9x² - 30x = - 6
⇒ x² x = - 6
is the answer.
