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

Nina knows that the average of the x-intercepts represents the line of symmetry for a quadratic function through the x-axis. Whi
Dafna1 [17]
To get the x-intercepts of the function, f(x) = 4x2 – 24x + 20

It has to be equated to zero and the values of x are the x-intercepts. So,
4x2 – 24x + 20 = 0
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation which can be solved by different methods. The solution is
x = 5, 1
The average therefore is:
(1+5/)2 = 3

-7m²-10m+17<br> common factor
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Greatest common factor of 17

So, the prime factors of 45 are 3, 3, and 5. The Greatest Common Factor is the greatest number that is common (that is, in both lists). It is 17. Since 17 is a factor of itself and of 51 -- which is 3 x 17 -- then the greatest possible common factor is 17!

Step-by-step explanation:

Add and subtract the second term to the expression and factor by grouping.

- (m - 1 )( 7m + 17 )
