Answer:

80 roses, 50 carnations and 70 daisies were ordered.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can write the following equations:

x+y+z=200 (1)

1.50x+5.75y+2.60z=589.50 (2)

z=y+20 (3)

First, you can replace (3) in (1) and (2):

x+y+y+20=200

x+2y=180

1.50x+5.75y+2.60(y+20)=589.50

1.50x+5.75y+2.60y+52=589.50

1.50x+8.35y=537.50

Now, you have 2 equations:

x+2y=180 (4)

1.50x+8.35y=537.50 (5)

You can solve for x in (4):

x=180-2y (6)

Then, you can replace (6) in (5) and solve for y:

1.50(180-2y)+8.35y=537.50

270-3y+8.35y=537.50

5.35y=267.50

y=267.50/5.35

y=50

You can replace the value of y in (6) to find x:

x=180-2(50)

x=180-100

x=80

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find z:

z=y+20

z=50+20

z=70

According to this, the answer is that 80 roses, 50 carnations and 70 daisies were ordered.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

6y - (6 + 4y) = 26

6y - (6 + 4y) = 2y - 6

2y - 6 = 26

    +6     +6

-------------------

2y = 32

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?<br> y=4x−7
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Unknown

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! so you didn't add the ordered pair options but I will do my best :) so if you see the ordered pair (0.7) that could definitely be a solution because using the slope intercept form equation you gave I know that's our y Intercept. the slope is 4/1 so moving up 4 and to the right 1 or down 4 and to the left 1 on a graph could show you more points! If you don't want to draw it you could use Desmos and just put this equation in or give me the ordered pairs and I will give you your answer!

hope this helps :)
