You can create the equation 1.20x + 2.50y = 300
Where 1.20 is the price of each vinca flower, x is how many vinca you will buy, 2.50 is the price of each phlox flower, y is how many plhox you will buy and 300 is how much money you have.

To get three combinations of how many plhox and vinca flowers you ( or the gardner can buy) with 300, you can just take a random value for x or y, apply it to the equation and then solve the equation for the other
variable ( x or y).
This means:
Pick a number of how many flower you will get of ONE type of flower ( ONLY ONE)
The gardner will not get any Vinca flowers, then x = 0
( as x = how many vinca flower the gardner will get)
now apply 0 to x ( this means substitute x with 0)

(1.20)(0) + 2.50y = 300
Since any number x 0 is 0, the equation will be
0 + 2.50y = 300 or just 2.50y = 300

Now to solve an equation we just need to isolate the variable (y) on one side of the equation and the value on the other.
We can do that by dividing both sides of the equation, so 2.50y turns into 2.50/2.50 times y which is just y.

2.50/2.50 y = 300/2.50
y = 120
And since we chose the value for how many vincas we would buy, we have the x value as well ( 0)
x = 0

So 1 combination can be: 0 Vinca and 120 Plhox

Combination #2 ( I ll stop explaining the steps since I already explained how to do it)

y = 0 ( I chose not to buy any Plhox)

1.20x + (2.50)(0) = 300
1.20x = 300
1.20/120x = 300/120x
x = 25
y= 0
Combination 2: 25 Vincas and 0 plhox

Combination #3:
x = 100 ( I chose to buy 10 vincas)
(1.20)(100) + 2.50y = 300
120 + 2.50y = 300
( I didnt explain thow to isolate a variable in this situation so ill explain it: to isolate this esquation we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation so 12 cancels out. We need to do it on both sides because otherwise the first side wouldnt be equal to the other sode, and that wouldnt be an equation)

120 - 120 + 2.50y = 300 - 120
2.50y = 180
y = 72
x = 100

Combination 3: 100 Vinca and 72 Plox

I know this is long but I hope it was helpful to you if you didnt know how to solve equations :)

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression 6( 3c - 5d + 6)
NeTakaya

Solving 6( 3c - 5d + 6) by applying distributive property we get 18c-30d+36

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to apply distributive property to create an equivalent expression.

6( 3c - 5d + 6)

The distributive property says that, a(b+c)=ab+ac

Using distributive property and solving:

6( 3c - 5d + 6)\\=6(3c)+6(-5d)+6(6)\\=18c-30d+36

So, solving 6( 3c - 5d + 6) by applying distributive property we get 18c-30d+36

The solutions to a certain quadratic equation are x = 4 and x = -3. Write the equation in standard form below.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

x2 - x - 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4) (x + 3) = 0

x(x + 3) -4(x + 3) = 0

x2 + 3x -4x - 12 = 0

x2 -x -12 = 0

Which pair represents equivalent ratios? A Begin fraction . . . 2 over 3 . . . end fraction . . . and . . . begin fraction . . .
Blizzard [7]

Equivalent ratios are those ratios which are same that is on simplifying each of them, we will get the same answer.

A.\frac{2}{3} and \frac{9}{15} = \frac{3}{5}

So they are not equivalent

B.\frac{5}{8} and \frac{15}{21} = \frac{5}{7}

So they are not equivalent

C.\frac{3}{12} and \frac{6}{18} = \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{3}

They are not equivalent too.

D.\frac{4}{10} and \frac{12}{30} = \frac{2}{5} and \frac{2}{5}

And they are equivalent. SO the correct option is D .

I need help with this question please
Elza [17]

The changes in Z would be = 6.1× 10^-4.

<h3>Calculation of the unknown value</h3>

Z = Sin (x³ +y³)

Where X = 0.3

y = 0.2

Z= Sin ( 0.3³ + 0.2³)

Z= Sin ( 0.027 + 0.008)

Z= Sin ( 0.035)

Z= 6.1× 10^-4

Therefore, the changes in Z would be = 6.1× 10^-4.
