Answer:

You have to take 15 pens to get at least one red pencil.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were one red and 6 green pens, there would be more red than green pens.

If there were 3 or more blue and thus 18 or more green pens, the number of pens would be over 20.

So there must be 2 blue, 12 green and thus 6 red pencils. So you have to take at least 15 pens to be sure that you got a red one.

Answer: B, x=20; angle measure is 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles are always the same.

You can see that 30° and 3x are opposite angles therefore 3x=30°.

In algebra, when a letter and a number are next to each other, it means times.

So, 3x=30° means 3 times something equals 30.

And we know that 3×10=30 so, x=10.

Hope this helps :)
