Answer: the number of roses sold is 69 while number of tulips is 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of roses that the flower shop sold.

Let y represent the number of tulips that the flower shop sold.

The number of roses sold was 5 less than twice the number of tulips sold. This means that

x = 2y - 5 - - -- -- - - - - - ;1

If the shop sold 106 flowers in total, it means that

x + y = 106

Substituting x = 106 - y into equation 1, it becomes

106 - y = 2y - 5

3y = 106 + 5 = 111

y = 111/3 = 37

x = 106 - y = 106 - 37

x = 69

Answer:

Line BD is Congruent to Line BD due to the Reflexive property. Angle Bad is congruent to angle BCD because of the third angle theorem therefore triangle ABD is congruent to triangle CBD because all angles and sides are congruent

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let slice of pizza cost x and a 12-ounce cola cost y.

Then Sara's order cost: 2x+y=3

and Sydney's order cost: 3x+2y=4.75

From the first equation we have: y=3-2x and put this to the second equation:

3x+2(3-2x)=4.75

3x+6-4x=4.75

x=1.25

y=3-1.25*2=0.50

Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.
