Answer:

The gardeners should buy 45 white hydrangeas and 104 pink hydrangeas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the gardeners at Middleton Place Gardens have to buy x numbers of white hydrangeas and y number of pink hydrangeas.

So, x + y = 41 {Given} ........... (1)

Again, for another flower bed they want to plant 108 hydrangeas, where the number of white ones is 2 times that of Middleton Place Gardens and the number of pink ones is 3 times that of Middleton Place Gardens.

So, 2x + 3y = 108 ........ (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

3y - 2y = 108 - 82 = 26

⇒ y = 26

And from equation (1) we get,

x = 41 - 26 = 15.

So, the total number of white hydrangeas the gardeners have to buy is (x + 2x) = 3x = 3 × 15 = 45.

And the total number of pink hydrangeas the gardeners have to buy is (y + 3y) = 4y = 4 × 26 = 104. (Answer)

PolarNik [594]
The arrangement forms an isosceles triangle with equal legs of 8 mi. The angle between the legs is,

123-63 = 60°. Therefore, the other two angles ares:

Angles = (180-60)/2 = 120/2 = 60°

It can therefore be noted that all angles are equal and thus the resulting triangle is actual an equilateral triangle and thus all the sides are equal.

It can be concluded that the ships are 8 miles apart.
