Since the ratio of roses to sunflowers is , we can represent how many there are of each as and , respectively. We know that there are more sunflowers than roses, so we can set up the following equation to solve for :
Solving for , we get:
(Subtract from both sides of the equation to isolate )
(Simplify)
(Symmetric Property of Equality)
(Divide both sides of the equation by to get rid of 's coefficient)
(Simplify)
Therefore, since , we know that there are roses and sunflowers. Hope this helps!
