Asked by Sara
Carly and Kyle decided to count the number of red, blue, and yellow cars that they saw. They counted twice as many red cars as blue cars. The number of yellow cars they counted was one third of the number of red cars if they counted a tote of 33 cars. How many of each car did they count?

blue cars --- x
red cars ---- 2x
yellows ----- (1/3)2x = 2x/3
x+2x+2x/3 = 33
times 3
3x+6x+2x=99
