Answer:

The number of red pens is 20.

The number of blue pens is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, the ratio of number of red pens to the number of blue pens is 5 : 1.

∴ Let us assume that the number of red pens be 5<em>x</em> and number of blue pens be <em>x</em>.

Total number of pens in the desk drawer = 24

Now, according to question :

Number of red pens + Number of blue pens = 24

⇒5<em>x</em> + <em>x</em> = 24

⇒6<em>x</em> = 24

⇒x=\frac{24}{6}=4

So, number of red pens in the drawer = 5<em>x</em> = 5 × 4 = 20

Number of blue pens in the drawer = <em>x</em> = 4

When 12 is added to a number the result is 32 less than 3 times the number.
sdas [7]


Let the number = x

12 + x = 3x - 32

x = 3x - 44 Subtract 12 from both sides

-2x = -44 Subtract 3x from both sides

x = 22 Divide by -2
