Question

Dasha has 4 times more rose bushes in her garden than Anna. After 39 rose bushes were replanted into Anna's garden, the number of bushes in both gardens became the same. How many rose bushes did Dasha's have originally?

Answer 1

Hi There!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Solution:

a = anna

d = dasha

a + 39 = d * 4

We can say that:

a = 1

d = 10

1 + 39 = 10 * 4

40 = 40

-----------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

Dasha had 10 rose bushes originally.

Answer 2

Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dasha=d, Anna=a

d=4a

d-39=a+39

d=a+78

Plug in d as 4a:

4a=a+78

Solve for a:

3a=78

a=26

Because d=4a, plug in a:

d=4*26

d=104

Dasha originally have 104 rose bushes
