To answer this, you would use the original ratio of 2 to 5 and create an equivalent ratio that includes the 12 tulips. You would get a ratio of 12 to 30. This is not enough daisies.
I then tried 2/5 times 7/7, but it still did not reach the 36 daisies that are there. When you use a factor of 8, you will get 16 tulips to 40 daisies. This works!
You would need to add 4 tulips and 4 daisies to what he already has.
First use distributive property:
4(5x - 6) - 4(2x + 1)
20x - 24 - 8x - 4
Then add like terms:
12x - 28
Answer:
No!
Step-by-step explanation:
Prime is anything that cannot be divided into but by one and itself, therefore all even numbers are Composite.
Let the two numbers be x and y, then,
xy = -12 . . . (1)
x + y = -10 . . . (2)
From (2), x = -10 - y . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (1), gives
(-10 - y)y = -12
-10y - y^2 = -12
y^2 + 10y - 12 = 0

Therefore, the two numbers are

and
20 I think. If I’m wrong don’t roast me please.
