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

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: C) Cannot be done

Taking the square root of a negative number is not possible unless you involve complex numbers. If your teacher has not introduced that topic yet, then you just simply say "cannot be done" or something along those lines.
