Answer: huh ?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
7 Zuchini, 14 Cucumbers and 22 Tomatoes plants.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let the number of tomatoes=t
- Let the number of cucumber planted=c
- Let the number of zucchini planted=z
- Total Number of Plants=43
She planted twice as many cucumbers as zucchini, this is written as:
She also planted eight more tomatoes than cucumbers, this is written as:
In total, she planted 43 plants
Therefore:
z+(2z)+(2z+8)=43
5z+8=43
5z=43-8
5z=35
Divide both sides by 5
z=7
Number of Cucumbers, c=2z=2 X 7 =14
Number of Tomatoes, t=c+8=14+8=22
Therefore, she planted 7 Zuchini, 14 Cucumbers and 22 Tomatoes plants.
Division and addition are the only operations involved.
