Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the original number of bushes in garden A
Let x-9 = the original number of bushes in garden B
x-9-3=x-12 = bushes in garden B after transplanting 3
x+3 = bushes in garden A after transplanting 3
x+3=1.5(x-12)
x+3=1.5x-18
0.5x=21
x=42
There were 42 current bushes in garden A
Yes you need the distance formula to find the Base and height.
-2 = -(x-8)
-2 = -x + 8 ( - * + = - and - * - = + )
-2 - 8 = -x +8 - 8
-2 - 8 = -x
-(2+8) = - x
-10 = -x | * (-1)
x=10
