Garden one and two are both unknown, so I am choosing to call garden 2 X and then label garden 1 with comparisons to X.
It is tempting to list:
Garden Two = X
Garden One = X + 9
BUT there is an easier way. We are told that when 3 bushes are taken from garden 2 (x-3) and put in garden 1 (x + 12) then garden one has 1.5 times more than garden two.
Set it up like this:
1.5 ( x - 3) = x + 12 (because 1.5 times garden 2 will give us garden 1)
1.5x - 4.5 = x + 12 (Distribute)
.5x = 16.5 (Use subtraction to move variables to the right and other numb left)
x = 33 for Garden 2
33 + 9 for Garden 1 = 42

Solve for x :
4 - (2x + 4) = 5
1) x = -10
2) x = 5/2
3) x = 1/2
4) x = 6
<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u> </u></h3>
➛ 4 - 2x + 4 = 5
➛ 2x + 4 - 4 = 5
➛ 2x + 0 = 5
➛ 2x = 5
➛ x = 5/2
Thus, The value of x is <u>5/2</u><u>.</u><u> </u>
X^2=2y
To get x on its own you would have to square root both sides so you would end up with:
x=sqrt(2y)

Pretty sure its 5700! not sure tho..
