There are 16 colored pencils and 8 colored pencils will fit in a box. How many boxes will the 16 pencils fill?

Given:

Total number of colored pencils = 16

Colored pencils fit in a box = 8

To find:

The number of boxed that will fit the 16 pencils.

Solution:

According to the question 8 colored pencils will fit in a box. So, we have

8 pencils = 1 box

Multiply both sides by 2.

2×8 pencils = 2×1 box

16 pencils = 2 box

Therefore, 2 boxes are required to fit the 16 colored pencils.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

answer for #1 is c

answer for #2 is d
