Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
There are 13 flowers from which Jeanine Baker plans to use 7 of them.
To determine the number of selections that are possible we use combinations.
The formula for combinations is;
.
Step 2:
In the given formula, n is the total number of options and r is the number of options to be selected.
For this question,
and
.
So 
So a total of 1,716 selections are possible.
x ,y are the numbers
x = 5y-3
x+y = 27
substitute first equation into the second
(5y-3) +y =27
combine like terms
6y-3=27
add 3 to each side
6y=30
divide by 6
y=5
x = 5y-3
x=5*5-3
x=22
the two numbers are 22 and 5
29.8 would be the number, but rounded would be 30
