mr charles cut fresh roses from his garden and gave 10 roses to his nethtbor then he gave half of what was left to his niece he kept the remaining 14 roses how many roses did he cut

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of roses Mr Charles had cut from his garden.

After giving 10 roses to his neighbour, he has (x - 10) roses.

After giving half of the remaining roses to his niece, he has (x - 10)/2 roses left.

We are given that (x - 10)/2 = 14.

=> x - 10 = 28, x = 38.

Hence Mr Charles had cut 38 roses.

Answer 2

Answer: 38 roses

explanation:
14 x 2 = 28
28 + 10 = 38
