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
x = 2, that is B(2) = - 1
From the coordinate diagram, the value of x ( x- axis ) corresponding to the value of y = -1 ( y- axis ) is x = 2
That is the point (2, - 1 )
SOLVING WITH THESE VALUES:
x=2
y=3

The answer is 1,729 when x=2 and y=3
