Question

Tanya bought flowers for her mother she spent $45. Each tulip was $1 and each rose was $2 she bought 3 more Tulips than roses. let T be the number for tulips. Form an algebraic sentence to help you figure out how many tulips Tonya bought.

Answer 1

Would it be 2 (t+3) = 45?

Answer 2

t = r+3 because there are 3 more tulips than roses
t+2r=45 because 1$*amount of tulips +2$*amount of roses = 45

Answer 3

2(t+3)=45
2t + 6 = 45
t + 6 - 22.5
t=16.5
This implies that she purchased 16 and a half tulips...

Answer 4

r+3+2r=45
3r+3=45
3r=42
r=14
t = 17

Answer 5

The choices I have are.
t + 2 (t+3) =45
t + 2 (t-3) =45
2t (t+3) =45
-3t + 2t =45

Answer 6

first equation is supposed to be 1t + 2r = 45
and r = t - 3
so I subbed and got : t + 2(t - 3) = 45

Answer 7

t + 2 (t-3) =45
implies t = 17
and this is what I got, and I have faith in that.

Answer 8

I agree...thats what I got the second time

Answer 9

17*1+14*2=17+28=45

Answer 10

the first time I subbed r + 3 in for t
1t + 2r = 45
and got: r + 3 + 2r =45
