Answer:
20 green pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between black and green "ratio units" is 7 -5 = 2. The difference between red and blue ratio units is 3 -2 = 1. The sum of those differences is 2 +1 = 3 ratio units, which represent 12 pencils. Then each ratio unit represents 12/3 = 4 pencils.
The 5 ratio units of green pencils represent 5·4 pencils = 20 green pencils.
_____
If you need an equation, you can use k as the constant of proportionality. Then the sum of differences described is ...
(7k -5k) + (3k -2k) = 12
3k = 12 . . . . simplify
k = 4 . . . . . . divide by 3
5k = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . number of green pencils

Answer:
x=2; y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
(1) 6x+7y=5
(2) 2x-3y=7
We multiply equation (2) by 3, it gives
6x-9y=21 and we subtract from (1)
6x-9y-6x-7y=-16y=21-5=16
So y = -1
we replace in (1) 6x-7=5 <=> 6x=7+5=12 <=> x =12/6=2
thanks
