Answer:
r = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of districts. The given information lets us write two equations:
3d = 27 . . . . . the number of state senators
d +r = 27 . . . . the number of representatives
The first equation tells us ...
d = 27/3 = 9
The the second equation tells us ...
r = 27 -d = 27 -9 = 18
The number of at-large representatives is r = 18.
