I think it would be -3x+y-1=0
Answer: the number of roses sold is 69 while number of tulips is 37
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of roses that the flower shop sold.
Let y represent the number of tulips that the flower shop sold.
The number of roses sold was 5 less than twice the number of tulips sold. This means that
x = 2y - 5 - - -- -- - - - - - ;1
If the shop sold 106 flowers in total, it means that
x + y = 106
Substituting x = 106 - y into equation 1, it becomes
106 - y = 2y - 5
3y = 106 + 5 = 111
y = 111/3 = 37
x = 106 - y = 106 - 37
x = 69
Answer:
Just two corrections! See attached image.
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of 8 and b taken <u>from</u> 10 means begin with 10 and subtract 8b from it.
8 times the difference of 10 and b means find 10 - b first, <u>then</u> multiply by 8.
