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.

The angels across from each other are the same. That makes the sides and the interior lines the same as well. So that means the lines cannot cross each other. They are parallel

Give the degree of the polynomial <br> -3w+x^6y^5-2+5y^4w^3x^2
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Here the degree of the polynomial is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the degree of the multivariate polynomials, we need to add up the powers of all the variables.   So the total degree is given by the sum of all the powers of the highest powers terms.

Now in the given polynomial -3w+x^6y^5-2+5y^4w^3x^2

the term with the highest total powers is x^6y^5 and thus the total power is 6+5=11.

And hence the degree of this polynomial is 11.
