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)

Answer:

13.8

His dive once he hits the water and goes below the surface water line is in the same direction as his dive off the platform. That's very important when you start to consider direction. So you add. Be sure and read this paragraph again.

Dive = platform + under the surface

Dive = 10 + 3.8

Dive = 13.8
