Since 3/5 are tulips, that makes the remaining flowers not tulips. Therefore, 2/5 of the flowers in her garden are not tulips. Hope this helps!
To solve this question you need to cross multiply
So first do 3(2x+1) = 4(3x-2)
Which gives you 6x+1 = 12x-8
Now you solve it like a normal equation
6x+1 = 12x-8
9 = 6x
3/2 = x
Answer:
the cost of 3 apples and 7 oranges be £15 and £35 respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the apple be x
And, the oranges be y
Now according to the question
5x + 4y = £45
And,
2x + 8y = £50
Multiply by 2 in equation 1
So,
10x + 8y = £90
2x + 8y = £50
8x = £40
x = £5
And, y be
5(£5) + 4y = £45
£25 + 4y = £45
4y = 20
y = £5
So, the cost of 3 apples and 7 oranges be £15 and £35 respectively
