<u>Answer:</u>

Garden A has 42 currant bushes before the transplant

<u>Explanation: </u>

Suppose garden A is x and garden B is y

Forming the linear equations

Garden A has  9 more currant bushes than garden B

Therefore

x=y+9 --------(1)

If 3 currant bushes are transplanted from Garden B to Garden A, then Garden A will have 1.5 times more currant bushes than Garden B.

When 3 currant bushes are transplanted then the new equation becomes

x=y+12--------(2)

Further after transplanting

x+3= 1.5y----------(3)

putting the value of y from equation 2 into equation 3

x+3 = 1.5(x-12)

x+3= 1.5x-18

x-1.5x=-18-3

-0.5x=-21

x=\frac{21\times 10}{5}

x=42

Hence garden A has 42 currant bushes before the transplant

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the original number of bushes in garden A

Let x-9 = the original number of bushes in garden B

x-9-3=x-12 = bushes in garden B after transplanting 3

x+3 = bushes in garden A after transplanting 3

x+3=1.5(x-12)

x+3=1.5x-18

0.5x=21

x=42

There were 42 current bushes in garden A

Arada [10]

Answer:

E, F, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Im just learning about these kind of things and this is a challenging question not going to lie.

I chose B because expanding and building more factories is apart of economics. You need more land to expand your business, but this will also affect the economy.

C seems like a good answer also because writing about economic trends is an important thing in economics. This also helps others learn out the economy and what not to do and what to do to help make our environment a better place.

I chose E because starting a business is apart of economics. A lot of business are apart of economic systems and help money come into our economy.

F is a good answer for me because the U.S government has been apart of America's economic system for a long time just like they are involved with everything else. The government is a big help and a big part of our economy, especially for america.

Josh worked 30 hours last week and earned $8.50 per hour. If $32.50 was withheld from his paycheck, what was Josh's net pay?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$222.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Hours Josh worked last week = 30

Money earned per hour = $8.50

Money withheld = $32.50

Josh's net pay = (30 x 8.50) - 32.50

                        = 255 - 32.50

                        = $222.50

At a local coffee shop, three coffees and two muffins cost a total of $7.00. Two coffees and four
rewona [7]

Answer:

$10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations, so 3c + 2m = 7 and 2c + 4m = 8, where c = the cost of coffees, and m = cost of muffins

To solve multiply the first equation by -2(3c + 2m=7) so you get -6c -4m = -14 now add the two equations

-6c - 4m = -14

2c + 4m = 8   notice that -6c + 2c = -4c and -4m + 4m cancels, then -14+8=-6

so we have -4c = -6 so c = $1.50

To solve for m, substitute c = 1.50 so 3(1.50) + 2m = 7, so solve for m so

4.5 + 2m = 7, 2m = 2.5, so m = $1.25

So now solve the final problem 6(1.50) + 1(1.25) = $10.25
