Answer:

The florist can make 11 regular bouquets and 21 mini bouquets

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of roses the florist has = 118 roses

The number of peonies the florist has = 226 peonies

The number of roses in each regular bouquet = 5 roses

The number of peonies in each regular bouquet = 11 peonies

The number of roses in each mini bouquet = 3 roses

The number of peonies in each mini bouquet = 5 peonies

1. The equation that gives the total number of roses to be used in both kinds of bouquet is given as follows;

Let r represent the number of regular bouquet the florist can make and let m represent the number of mini bouquet the florist can make, we have;

5·r + 3·m = 118...(1)

2. Similarly, we have;

11·r + 5·m  = 226...(2)

Making m the subject of the formula of both equations, and equating both values of m to find a common solution, we have;

m = (118 - 5·r)/3

m = (226 - 11·r)/5

(118 - 5·r)/3 = (226 - 11·r)/5

5 × (118 - 5·r) = 3 × (226 - 11·r)

590 - 25·r = 678 - 33·r

33·r - 25·r = 678 - 590 = 88

8·r = 88

r = 88/8 = 11

r = 11

The number of regular bouquet the florist can make = r = 11

m = (118 - 5·r)/3 = (118 - 5×11)/3 = 21

m = 21

The number of mini bouquet the florist can make = m = 21

The number of regular bouquet the florist can make = 11 bouquets

The number of mini bouquet the florist can make = 21 bouquets.

HELP ASAP!!!!<br> GIVING BRAINLIEST!<br><br> Find the value of x and y with the steps PLEASE.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

x=70

y= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

the triangle containing x is an isosceles triangle so two of the sides are 55.

55+55+x=180.

110+x=180

110-110+x=180-110

x=70

Triangle BAC is equilateral so 180/3=60. Now

x+60+c=180

70+60+c=180

130+c=180

130-130+c=180-130

c=50

That gives us one corner of triangle CBD. We know a second angle is 90 so

50+90+y=180

140+y=180

140-140+y=180-140

y=40

I think that is correct but you are free to check it yourself
