Mrs smith has 12 times as many markers as color pencils the total number of markers and colored pencils is 78 how many markers does mrs smith have

Let the colored pencil amount be p.
Then this is the equation:
12p+p=78
Simplifying, we can see that
13p=78
Divide both sides by 13 to get
p=6

Since there are 12 times as many markers as colored pencils, there are 72 markers.

The slope of the function is 0.5.
