Just add the two equations together.
2b = 18
b = 18/2
b = 9
9 = k + 10
9 - 10 = k
k = - 1
Answer:
4 tulip bulbs, 1 daffodil bulb

2 tulip bulbs × 4 = 8, which is equal to the amount of daffodil bulbs Glen bought.
The four sides to create the square
Answer:
about 520,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Following directions, we evaluate the equation by putting the value where the variable is and doing the arithmetic.
__
The value of x will be the number of days between May 26 and May 12. That value is ...
x = 26 -12 = 14
Then the number of mosquitos is estimated to be ...
y = 230,000(1.06^14) ≈ 520,008
About 520,000 mosquitos will inhabit the city on May 26.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Typically, an "estimate" is one or two significant figures. So, 520,000 is a reasonable estimate. 520,008 has more precsision than can be justified.
