Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Total number of plants = 15
- Total cost = $96
- Cost of pink flowering plant = $8
- Cost of purple flowering plant = $5
<u>Let x and y be the number of plants bought. Then we have equations:</u>
- 8x + 5y = 96
- x + y = 15 ⇒ y = 15 - x
<u>Substituting y in the first equation:</u>
- 8x + 5y = 96
- 8x + 5(15 - x) = 96
- 8x + 75 - 5x = 96
- 3x = 96 - 75
- 3x = 21
- x = 7
Correct option is the second one
The correct answer is C. (5x+3) feet, and here is how I got it.
This is the equation you need to use:
(a+b)^2 = (a+b) (a+b)
So, let us plug in 5x and 3 here:
(5x+3)^2 = (5x+3)(5x+3) = 25x^2 + 15x + 15x + 9 = 25x^2 + 30x + 9 which is the area of the garden.
Answer:
3 - (x - 1) = 1/2(3x - 4)
