Answer:

  • 7 pink flowering plants

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total number of plants = 15
  • Total cost = $96
  • Cost of pink flowering plant = $8
  • Cost of purple flowering plant = $5

<u>Let x and y be the number of plants bought. Then we have equations:</u>

  • 8x + 5y = 96
  • x + y = 15 ⇒ y = 15 - x

<u>Substituting y in the first equation:</u>

  • 8x + 5y = 96
  • 8x + 5(15 - x) = 96
  • 8x + 75 - 5x = 96
  • 3x = 96 - 75
  • 3x = 21
  • x = 7

Correct option is the second one

sveta [45]

Answer:

for soln 1: X < -2; for soln 2: X < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is two set problem involving inequality. Therefore, you have to solve for each side of the inequality to know the values of X for each sides.

1 < X + 3 < 4

Soln 1. solve for the first side of the inequality

1 < X + 3

1 - 3 < X

-2 < X

X > -2

soln 2: solve for the second side of the inequality

X +3 < 4

X < 4 - 3

X < 1

Therefore, X > -2; X < 1

3x+2y=3 Get y alone.
Kazeer [188]
3x + 2y = 3. subtract 3x from both sides, so you get 2y = -3x + 3 . then you divide by 2 to both sides , so you get y = -3/2x + 3/2 .
