9,000. It decreased by 50% (25%+25%) over three years, which in this case won't matter, because of the question. If 4,500 is 50% of <em /><em>x</em> then just multiply 4,500 by two.

Explain why the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational
grandymaker [24]

Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.

Victor is going to send some flowers to his wife. Dayton Florist charges $3 per rose, plus $12 for the vase. Tammy's Flowers, in
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: the costs would be the same if he orders 29 rose flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of roses that Victor would order such that the cost will be the same with either flower shop.

Dayton Florist charges $3 per rose, plus $12 for the vase. This means that if he orders x rose flowers, the total amount that he would pay is

3x + 12

Tammy's Flowers, in contrast, charges $2 per rose and $41 for the vase. This means that if he orders x rose flowers, the total amount that he would pay is 2x + 41

For the costs to be the same, the number of rose flowers that he orders would be

3x + 12 = 2x + 41

3x - 2x = 41 - 12

x = 29
