Ok so we have 2 equations here...

x + y = 76
1/3x + 1/2y = 34

First solve for x in the 1st equation...

x + y = 76
x = 76 - y

Now substitute 76-y for x in the 2nd equation...

1/3x + 1/2y = 34
1/3(76-y) + 1/2y = 34
76/3 - 1/3y + 1/2y = 34
-1/3y + 1/2y = 34 - 76/3
-2/6y + 3/6y = 34 - 25 1/3
1/6y = 8 2/3
y = 8 2/3 ÷ 1/6
y = 8 2/3 × 6
y = 52

Now substitute 52 into the 1st equation for y

x + y = 76
x + 52 = 76
x = 76 - 52
x = 24

The 2 numbers are 24 and 52.

The difference between the numbers is
52 - 24 = 28

This equation can be set up letting x be the hourly rate:40x+1.5x(52-40)=638  [40 times the rate, plus 1.5 times the rate for the hours over 40 equals the pay]40x+78x-60x=63858x=638x=11 hourly rate is $11/hr

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

115\ white\ rose\ bushes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of pink roses bushes

y----> the number of white rose bushes

we know that

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{12}{15}

y=\frac{15}{12}x -----> equation A

x=92

substitute the value of x in the equation A

y=\frac{15}{12}(92)=115\ white\ rose\ bushes
