R = number of red pens
b = number of blue pens

If we have 36 workers and each worker requires a pen, we need 36 pens.

36 = r + b
3r = b   (For every 3 red there are 9 blue. So there are 3 times as many blue as red)

Now, substitute 3r = b into the first equation.

36 = r + b = r + 3r = 4r
36 = 4r
9 = r

Therefore, we need 9 red pens. Plug this back into our 3r=b equation to solve for b.

3r = b
3(9) = b
27 = b

Therefore, we need 27 blue pens.

Pls help me with this question.
umka21 [38]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in y=mx+b format. The y is the final amount that you will have to pay. The m in this case is the amount of money that you are paying for each individual month (which is $34.99). The x in this case is the number of months you are paying for (which is 1). And b is the starting fee that you have to pay in order to get a membership in the first place (but will not have to pay after the first month). Thus, seeing as there is 1 month's worth of payment and a starting fee tagged on, y would equal the average total cost for the first month of a gym membership.

Flura [38]

Find the area of one side, which is length x width:

2/3 x 2/3 = 4/9 square ft.

There are 6 sides to the prism, so multiply the area of one side by 6:

4/9 x 6 = 24/9 = 2 6/9 = 2 2/3 square ft.
