Answer:

She ordered 80 carnations, 50 roses, and 70 daisies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of carnations, y = number of roses, and z = number of daisies.  This problem gives us three equations.

 

First, remember that we multiply the price of each flower by the number bought then add up the subtotals, that gives the total amount paid.

Therefore,

1.50x + 5.75y + 2.60z = 589.50

 

Second, the sum of the numbers purchased is the total bought. Therefore,

x + y + z = 200

 

Finally, there are 20 fewer roses than daisies. Therefore,

y = z - 20

 

If you substitute z - 20 in for y in the first two equations, you can rewrite them so they only have x and z.

 

1.50x + 5.75(z - 20) + 2.60z = 589.50

1.50x + 5.75z - 115 + 2.60z = 589.50

1.50x + 8.35z = 704.50

 

x + (z - 20) + z = 200

x + 2z - 20 = 200

x + 2z = 220

 

If you solve the rewrite second equation for x, you get x = 220 - 2z.  Therefore, you can substitute 220 - 2z in for x in the rewritten first equation, and then solve for z.

 

1.50 (220 - 2z) + 8.35z = 704.50

330 - 3z + 8.35z = 704.50

330 + 5.35z = 704.50

5.35z = 374.50

z = 70

 

If you have z = 70, then x = 220 - 2(70) = 80 and y = 70 - 20 = 50.

 

She ordered 80 carnations, 50 roses, and 70 daisies.

Consider the equation Y=-2x+5 Create a table of five ordered pairs that satisfy the equation. What is the slope of the line repr
Vikentia [17]

Five pairs of points (X,Y) that satisfy the equation Y=-2X+5 may be the following:

For X=0: Y=-2*0+5=5 (0,5)

For X=1: Y=-2*1+5=3 (1,3)

For X=2: Y=-2*2+5=1 (2,1)

For X=3: Y=-2*3+5=-1 (3,-1)

For X=4: Y=-2*4+5=-3 (4,-3)

The slope of the function is m=-2. Correct answer: C

Need help with working perimeter and area please
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Area = 228 m²

Perimeter = 60 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given shows a rectangle that has a cut triangular portion.

✔️Area of the figure = area of rectangle - area of the triangular cut portion

= L*W + ½*bh

Where,

L = 20 m

W = 12 m

b = 20 - (8 + 8) = 4 m

h = 6 m

Plug in the values

Area = 20*12 - ½*4*6

Area = 240 - 12

Area = 228 m²

✔️Perimeter = perimeter of rectangle - base of the triangular cut portion

= 2(L + W) - b

L = 20 m

W = 12 m

b = b = 20 - (8 + 8) = 4 m

Plug in the values

Perimeter = 2(20 + 12) - 4

= 2(32) - 4

= 64 - 4

Perimeter = 60 m

When 5x^2 + 2= 4x is written in standard form, what are the values of a, b, and c
goblinko [34]

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax^{2}+bx+c=0,

where a, b, and c are coefficients. You want to get the given equation into this form. You can accomplish this by putting all the non-zero values on the left side on the equation.

In this case, the given equation is

5x^{2}+2=4x

Since 4x is on the right side of the equation, we subtract that from both sides. The resulting equation is

5x^{2}-4x+2=0

Looking at the standard form equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0, we can see that

a=5, b=-4, c=0
