Answer:
The gardeners should buy 45 white hydrangeas and 104 pink hydrangeas.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the gardeners at Middleton Place Gardens have to buy x numbers of white hydrangeas and y number of pink hydrangeas.
So, x + y = 41 {Given} ........... (1)
Again, for another flower bed they want to plant 108 hydrangeas, where the number of white ones is 2 times that of Middleton Place Gardens and the number of pink ones is 3 times that of Middleton Place Gardens.
So, 2x + 3y = 108 ........ (2)
Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,
3y - 2y = 108 - 82 = 26
⇒ y = 26
And from equation (1) we get,
x = 41 - 26 = 15.
So, the total number of white hydrangeas the gardeners have to buy is (x + 2x) = 3x = 3 × 15 = 45.
And the total number of pink hydrangeas the gardeners have to buy is (y + 3y) = 4y = 4 × 26 = 104. (Answer)
Instead of adding 6 three times, you can multiply 6 by 3 and get 18, the same answer.
Similarly,
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 6 × 7 = 42
Assume that the notation (a,r,s,t) means multiply q and r, then add the product to s and (2,6,4,8)+(4,7,2,6)? Please show work a

Answer: 7.0 (choice E)</h3>
=============================================
Work Shown:
Let m = 2 so we can use this result later.
Let n = 5 so we can use this result later.
Add the two results.
m+n = 2 + 5 = 7.0 is the final answer.
2 - 2n = 3n + 17 > -2n = 3n + 15 > -5n = 15 > n = -3
Writing the problem as an equation you have:
2x+6 > -16
Solve for x:
2x+6 > -16
Subtract 6 from each side:
2x > -22
Divide both sides by 2:
x > -11
The answer is: x > -11
