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

A: 45x + 30y = 1350
Since we don’t know how many adults and children are in the group, we use x and y

b: x-intercept= 30 y-intercept=45
To find the x-intercept you need to isolate the variable. 45x/45 = x
Then you do the same thing to the other side. 1350/45 = 30
So x=30
Same thing with the y-intercept.
30y/30 = y 1350/30 = 45
y=45 (Not really sure what it means by “what they represent” but I thinks it’s that there are 30 adult tickets and 45 children tickets )

c: so our points are (30,0) and (0,45) so you would graph that.
To find how many children tickets were bought if there were 20 adult tickets just look at the photo I put. I don’t know how to explain this.


Hope this helps
