You can also approach it this way:
28 flowers times n = 3444
so n = 123
11 x 123 = roses, 17 x 123 = tulips.
Those 2 products should add up to 3444. They do. :-)
gotchaaaaaa
ahhh
thanxxx
-3x-2-6x=-4-<em>(-4x)</em>+12
-9x-2=-16x+12
7x=14
x=2.
You probably got confused with the italicized part.
No it is an irrational number because it is a decimal with repeating numbers.
This is a a reflective property because it is an if then statement.
In this problem, we're going to use the 'PEMDAS' method.
First, we're doing the problem in the parenthesis.
44 - 4 = 40
Next in PEMDAS, we need to do the exponent.
6² = 6 x 6 = 36
Then we would do multiplication, but there is nothing to multiply so we move onto division.
40 / 2 = 20
Now we would add, but there is nothing to add so we move onto subtraction.
20 - 36 = -16
Our final answer would be -16.
Hope this helps!~
