To add the bushes and trees, to get 19 bushes and 6 trees, but this wouldn't get me anywhere, because I don't have subtotals for the bushes and trees.

So I'll pick variables (b for the number of bushes and t for the number of trees) and set up a system of equations:

first order: 13b + 4t = 487

second order: 6b + 2t = 232

Multiplying the second row by –2, I get:

13b + 4t = 487

–12b – 4t = –464

This says that b = 23.

Back-solving, I get that t = 47.

Of course, the exercise didn't ask for the values of the two variables. Translating back into English, the solution is,

each bush is $23 and each tree is $47.

Find x if L is between N and M, and NL = (6x - 5), LM = (2x + 3), and NM = (3x+13)?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x

By mathematical convention;

NM = NL + LM

Now, substitute individual values

3x + 13 = (6x-5) + (2x + 3)

3x + 13 = 6x-5 + 2x + 3

3x + 13 = 8x -2

Collect like terms

8x -3x = 13 + 2

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3
