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.

25 apples to 10 oranges. What is the rate of the fruit
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The rate of the fruit is 5 apples to 2 oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of the fruit is the ratio of apples to oranges. That is, the number of apples divided by the number of oranges into its simplest fraction form:

x = \frac{25\,apples}{10\,oranges}

x = \frac{5\,apples}{2\,oranges}

The rate of the fruit is 5 apples to 2 oranges.

5/3 raise to minus 5 into 5/3 raise to minus 11 is equal to 5/3 raise to x
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^a × x^b = x^(a+b)

Similarly,

(5/3)^(-5) × (5/3)^(-11) = (5/3)^(-5-11)

= (5/3)^(-16)

-16 = 8x

x = -2
