You have the right idea that things need to get multiplied.
What should be done is that the entire fraction needs to get multipled by the lowest common denominator of both denominators.
Let's look at the complex numerator. Its denominators are 5 and x + 6. Nothing is common with these, so both pieces are needed.
The complex denominator has x - 3 as its denominator. With nothing in common between it and the complex numerator, that piece is needed.
So we multiply the entire complex fraction by (5)(x + 6)(x -3).
Numerator:
= (x+6)(x-3) - (5)(5)(x-3)
= (x+6)(x-3) - 25(x-3)
= (x-3)(x + 6 - 25) <--- by group factoring the common x - 3
= (x -3)(x - 19)
Denominator:
Now we put the pieces together.
Our fraction simplies to (x - 3) (x - 19) / 125 (x + 6)
Given :
Sunflower produce approximately 50 seeds per flower.
If one ounce of sunflower seeds contain an average of 72 seeds.
To Find :
How many flowers are needed to produce 2 pounds of seeds.
Solution :
1 pound = 16 ounces .
So , 2 pound = 32 ounces .
Number of seeds in 2 pounds of seeds, n = 32×72 = 2304 .
Number of flowers are :
So , approximate number of flower required are 46.
Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:
Bag of windflower bulbs costs $8.50
Package of crocus bulbs costs $17.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $x be the price of one bag of windflower bulbs and $y be the price of one package of crocus bulbs.
1. Mark sold 2 bags of windflower bulbs for $2x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(2x+5y) that is $105. So,
2x+5y=105
2. Julio sold 9 bags of windflower bulbs for $9x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(9x+5y) that is $164.50. So,
9x+5y=164.50
3. You get the system of two equations:
From the first equation
Substitute it into the second equation:
9x+105-2x=164.50
7x=164.50-105
7x=59.5
x=$8.50
So,
5y=105-2·8.5
5y=105-17
5y=88
y=$17.60
