I think - 14 or 14 but I am not sure.
2*3=6 children Mrs Gomez has
6-2= 4 girls she has
pink carnations/ blue carnations= 4/2=2
⇒ numbers of pink carnations= 2* blue carnations
⇒ 12 pink carnations and 6 blue carnations
x ,y are the numbers
x = 5y-3
x+y = 27
substitute first equation into the second
(5y-3) +y =27
combine like terms
6y-3=27
add 3 to each side
6y=30
divide by 6
y=5
x = 5y-3
x=5*5-3
x=22
the two numbers are 22 and 5
Answer:
15;9;-8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5/3x-3=2/3x+12
x=15 once you combine like terms
2. 5x+35-3x+12=7x+2
2x+47=7x+2
5x=45
x=9
3. 12x+20-3=9x-7
12x+17=9x-7
3x=-24
x=-8
