Answer:

The number of tulips is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of tulips,

Since, the number of daffodils is equal to the square root of the number of tulips,

⇒ The number of daffodils = √x,

Thus, the total flowers = x + √x,

According to the question,

x + \sqrt{x} = 20,

\implies \sqrt{x} = 20 - x  

By squaring both sides,

x = (20-x)^2  

x = 400 + x^2 - 40x

x^2-41x+400=0

x^2-25x-16x+400=0

x(x-25)-16(x-25)=0

\implies (x-16)(x-25)=0

⇒ x = 16 or x = 25,

But, if the number of tulip is 25,

Then the total number of flowers > 20 ( Not possible )

Thus, the number of tulips is 16.

There are 16 tulips because the square root of 16 is 4, which means there will be 4 daffodils and 16+4=20. So the answer is 16 tulips.

A portion of a map with cities a and b is shown.The map uses a scale of 1 inch to 30 miles. A new map has a scale of 2 inches=15
Alina [70]

Answer:

22.5miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For Map 1;

1 inches = 30miles

For Map 2:

2 inches = 15miles

1 inches = x

2x = 1 *15

x = 15/2

x = 7.5miles

This means that 1 inch represents 7.5miles on Map 2'

The distance between the two cities in miles = 30miles - 7.5miles

The distance between the two cities (in miles) = 22.5miles
