Mathematics

Lana71 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

small number = -3

large number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose two numbers are x and y

smaller number = x

larger number = y

Given that,

The difference of two numbers is 15

<h2>Equation 1</h2><h3>y - x  = 15</h3>

Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger.

<h2>Equation 2</h2><h3>5x = 9 - 2y</h3>

Solve them

-x = 15 - y

x = y -15

put value of x in equation 2

5(y - 15) = 9 - 2y

-75 + 5y = 9 - 2y

-75 - 9 = -2y - 5y

-84 =  -7y

y = 84/7

y = 12

x = 12 - 15

x = -3

Pink rose plants are on sale for $3 each and white ones for $5 each. A gardener decides to buy 13 in total, choosing more white
Anettt [7]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the gardener bought more white than pink, that could mean he could have bought 12 white and one pink, 11 white and 2 pink, 10 white and 3 pink, 9 white and 4 pink, 8 white and 5 pink, or 7 white and 6 pink.

If you plug in the numbers, for example with 7 and 6, that would equal $53, which is not correct. Continue to do this with all of the answers.

With 8 white roses and 5 pink roses, this would equal $55 (40+15), which is the answer.
