Let "x" represent the number of units
5x = the number of tomato plants in Inessa's garden
6x = the number of tomato plants in Ralph's garden

the question says that half (1/2 x (5x)) of Inessa's tomato plants are taken from her garden and put into Ralph's garden 
this means that Ralph has a total of 850 tomato plants in his garden

using all of this information, we get the following (which we have to solve):
(1/2)(5x) + 6x = 850

when we solve for "x", we find that:
"x" = 100

so, going back to the original statement, if Ralph started out with (6x) tomato plants, and "x" = 100, we have to multiply 6 by 100

doing so gives us our final answer:
Ralph had 600 tomato plants in the beginning

I hope this helps! :D

loris [4]

Answer:

$1890

Step-by-step explanation:

x= couches

y=chair.

x=2y

2x=3y+270

2(2y) or 4y=3y+270

y=270

x=540

2(540)+3(270)=1890.

URGENT PLS HELP
Allisa [31]

Answer:

A) 3a = 180°

B) a+ 55° + 36° = 180°

C) x + y + z = 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is the A option since all the side of the triangle could be the same, making it an equilateral triangle. ( 60° + 60° + 60° = 180° )

The sum means that all the angles are added, not necessarily being similar terms, which equals to 180°.

The terms don't have to be similar, for instance the B option,

a+ 55° + 36° = 180°

since you could find the value of a.

The same thing goes for C.

(Extra)

It is not D since x is multiplied with 3, not giving the sum.

It is not E since all the 3 terms are multiplied, not giving the sum.
