Question

A garden contains 110110 ​flowers, each of which is either red or orange. There are 5555 orange flowers. If R represents the number of red flowers in the​ garden, what equation could you use to find the value of​ R?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation use to find the value of R is $55+R=110$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Number of flowers = 110

Number of orange flowers = 55

Let the number of red flowers be represented by 'R'

We need to find the equation used to find the value of R.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Total Number of flowers is equal to sum of Number of orange flowers and Number of red flowers.

representing in equation form we get;

$55+R=110$

Hence The equation use to find the value of R is $55+R=110$.

On Solving the above equation we get;

We will subtract both side by 55 using Subtraction property of equality.

$55+R-55=110-55\\\\R=55$

Hence There are 55 red flowers in the garden.
