Answer:

number of Roses = 60

number of carnations = 80

number of Lilies = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Roses = $3.00

carnations = $1.00

Lilies = $2.00

Total order = 215

Let

x = number of Roses

y = number of carnations

z = number of Lilies

There are 15 more lilies than roses.

z = x + 15

The total of the order came to $410.00.

x + y + z = 215

3x + y + 2z = 410

substitute z = x + 15

x + y + x + 15 = 215

3x + y + 2(x+15) = 410

2x + y + 15= 215

3x + y + 2x + 30 = 410

2x + y = 215 - 15

5x + y = 410 - 30

2x + y = 200 (1)

5x + y = 380 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

5x - 2x = 380 - 200

3x = 180

Divide both sides by 3

x = 180/3

= 60

x = 60

Recall

z = x + 15

z = 60 + 15

= 75

z = 75

Substitute the value of x into (1)

2x + y = 200

2(60) + y = 200

120 + y = 200

y = 200 - 120

= 80

y = 80

Therefore,

x = number of Roses = 60

y = number of carnations = 80

z = number of Lilies = 75

What does the weight of Earth compared to the weight of Mars
melomori [17]
Since Mars has less mass than Earth, the surface gravity on Mars is less than the surface gravity on Earth. The surface gravity on Mars is only about 38% of the surface gravity on Earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The solution is given below:

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

= 19 +  7 divided by 2 - 5

= (19 + 7) ÷ (2) - 5

= 26 ÷ 2 - 5

= 13 - 5

= 8

Hence, after solving this the value would be 8

Therefore it is equal to the 8
