Question

Math

Answer 1

You have a rectangular space that is 10 feet long and 6 feet wide. You plan to plant two types of flowers: roses and daisies. You want to plant a total of 30 flowers. Roses will take up more space, so you decide to plant 2 roses for every 3 daisies. Let R represent the number of roses and D represent the number of daisies. Write a system of equations based on the information provided. Solve the system of equations to find out how many roses and daisies you should plant.

Answer 2

So basically the total number of flowers you said is 30 and D = 30 - R

Answer 3

Next you wanna substitute D into the second equation like 3r=2(30−r) which turns to 3r=60−2r and you just combine the like terms like 3r+2r=60 and 3 plus 2 is 5 so 5r=60

Answer 4

Then you divide by 5 which is r=12 and this ends up being the end d=30−12=18 so you tell me what that means for your garden.

Answer 5

uhm 12 roses and 18 daisies?

Answer 6

Yeah

Answer 7

Oh thank you so much!

Answer 8
