Answer:
1st: 22, 2nd: 27, 3rd: 88
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation
If she recieved x calls the 1st evening, then the 2nd evening she recieved x+5, and the 3rd evening she recieved 4x.
x+x+5+4x=137
Combine like terms
6x+5=137
Subtract 5 from both sides
6x=132
Divide by 6 on both sides
x=22
First:
22 calls
Second:
x+5
22+5
27 calls
Third:
4x
4*22
88 calls

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of daffodil bulbs you buy. Then 60-d is the number of crocus bulbs. The total cost will be ...
0.45(60 -d) +0.65(d) = 35.00
27 +0.20d = 35
0.20d = 8 . . . . . . . . . subtract 27
d = 40 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5
60 -40 = 20 . . . . . crocus bulbs
You can buy 20 crocus bulbs and 40 daffodil bulbs for $35.
