X*y=72
x = 5y-2

x=72/y
72/y=5y-2

72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

White roses - 7

Red roses - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up proportional equations

White roses = x

Red roses = 3x - 4

Set equal to 24

x + 3x - 4 = 24

4x - 4 = 24

4x = 28

x = 7

x is white roses, so there are 7

Plug x value into red rose equation

3(7)-4

21-4 = 17 red roses

Check

17+7 = 24
