Let no. of pens be x.
Pens : x
Pencils: x+8
Total: 2x+8
Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.
Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)
There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.
D because its a triangle so it would be 3x but then you have to add the 4 for the longer side.
Answer:
John received 10% of the overall votes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the number of votes John got = m
So, the number of votes Vivienne received = 3 times (John's share )
= 3 times m = 3 m
Also, The number of Votes Nassim received = 2 times ( Vivienne's share)
2 x (3 m) = 6 m
Total Votes in the grade 6
= Votes received by { John + Vivienne + Nassim}
= m + (3 m) + (6 m) = 10 m
Hence, the total number of students who voted in grade 6 = 10 m

= 
or, The percentage of John's Votes = 10%
Hence, John received 10% of the overall votes.
If you're looking for the trend name, I would say Strong Positive, or (a).
