Answer: 76 roses were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of tulips that the math club sold.

Let y represent the number of roses that the math club sold.

The number of roses sold was 8 more than 4 times the number of tulips sold. This means that

y = 4x + 8

Tulips were sold for $2 each and roses for $5 each. The club made $414.00. This means that

2x + 5y = 414- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = 4x + 8 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 5(4x + 8) = 414

2x + 20x + 40 = 414

22x = 414 - 40

22x = 374

x = 374/22

x = 17

y = 4x + 8 = 4 × 17 + 8

y = 76

Answer: 76 roses were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rose be R, and Tulip be T

From the question, 2 equations were generated:

4T + 8 = R....equation 1

On the cost of Rose and Tulip:

5R + 2T = 414.....equation 2

Substitute equation 1 into 2

5( 4T + 8) + 2T = 414

20T + 40 + 2T = 414

Combine like terms

20T + 2T = 414 - 40

22T = 374

Divide both sides by 22 to get T

T= 374/22

T= 17

now that we have T, substitute T into equation 1 to get R

4 (17) + 8 = R

68 + 8 = 76

R= 76

Check:

76 roses at $5 = $380

17 tulips at $2 = $34

Roses + Tulip = $414

I hope this helps.

Let us set up some variabe:

  • height: h
  • base: b

Use the known information:

  • b = 2h + 8

Now lets find the area

   Area = (1/2) * b *h = (1/2) * h * (2h + 8)

Hope that helps!

9. Convert 10,000 seconds into<br> hours
arlik [135]

Answer: 2.7777 hours

Step-by-step explanation: Here, we're asked to convert 10,000 seconds into hours.

Unfortunately, we don't have a conversion factor for seconds and hours. However, we know that 60 seconds = 1 minute and 60 minutes = 1 hour.

So we can convert 10,000 seconds into hours by using both of these conversion factors. Also, it's important to understand that when we go from a smaller unit, seconds, to a larger unit, hours, we divide.

So let's first convert 10,000 seconds into minutes by dividing 10,000 by the conversion factor, 60, to get 166.6666 minutes.

Next, we convert minutes to hours by dividing 166.6666 by the conversion factor, 60, to get 2.7777 hours.

So 10,000 seconds is approximately equal to 2.7777 hours.
