Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of pencils that Jackson has be represented by x.

Since 20% of his pencils are broken which equals 4. This can be written and represented in an equation as:

20% of x = 4

20/100 × x = 4

0.2x = 4

x = 4/0.2

x = 20

There are a total of 20 pencils

Slope = $\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}$
------------------------
6 - 6 = 0
15 - (-1) = 16
0 / 16 = 0
