The Student Advisory Council here at PC sells red and pink carnations every year for Valentine's Day. The number of red carnations sold was 3 more than 2 times the number of pink carnations sold. Red Carnations were sold for $ 0.50 each and Pink Carnations sold for $0.75 exh . The club made $600.00 . How many of each carnation were sold?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of :

Red carnations sold = x = 687 carnations

Pink carnations sold = y = 342 carnations

How many of each carnation were

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

The number of :

Red carnations = x

Pink carnations = y

The Student Advisory Council here at PC sells red and pink carnations every year for Valentine's Day.

The number of red carnations sold was 3 more than 2 times the number of pink carnations sold.

x = 3 + 2y .....Equation 1

Red Carnations were sold for $ 0.50 each and Pink Carnations sold for $0.75 exh . The club made $600.00 .

$0.50 × x + 0.75 × y = $600

0.5x + 0.75y = 600...... Equation 2

Using substitution method:

Let us substitute, 3 + 2y for x in Equation 2

0.5(3 + 2y) + 0.75y = 600

1.5 + y + 0.75y = 600

y + 0.75y = 600 - 1.5

1.75y = 598.5

y = 598.5/ 1.75

y = 342 carnations.

Solving for x

x = 3 + 2y .....Equation 1

x = 3 + 2(342)

x = 3 + 684

x = 687 carnations

Therefore, The number of :

Red carnations = x = 687 carnations

Pink carnations = y = 342 carnations

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply exponents of the same base (variable), add the exponents.

1. The exponents are 12 - 4 + 6 = 14 or c^14

When you divide exponents of the same base, subtract them.

2. 8 - 2 = 6 or c^6

When you raise a power to a power, you multiply the exponents.

3. 4 * 5 = 20 or c^20

When a number is raised to a negative exponent it can be re written like this x^-n = 1/x^n.

4. x^-2 * y / x^4 * y^-1; using the above information, rewrite everything to have positive exponents. If the negative exponent is in the denominator, then it becomes x^n/1

y * y / x^2 * x^4 ; then just add your exponents to simplify

y^2 / x^6

As we said before, a power raised to a power is exponent x exponent.

5. (a^2 * b) ^-1 / (a^-3 * b^2)^-1 ; as before a power raised to a power, multiply the powers.

a^-2 * b-1 / a^3 * b^-2 rewrite this as before, inverting negative exponents. a^3 / a^2 * b^1 * b^2 = a^3 / a^2 * b^3

Simolifynthe new expression to reduce the a variable by subtracting the bottom a^2 from the top a^3 and are left with

a / b^3

Work number 6 like 5, no negative exponents, so there won't be any inversions. Just multiply the outside power times every exponent, then do the division by subtracting exponents of like bases.

When figuring out the problems with constants, treat them like the variables. In number 7 the 5a^2 when raised to the 2nd power would be 5^2*(a^2)^2 = 25 a^4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) -1/3(n+15)=-2

-1/3×n+-1/3×15=-2

-1/3×n -5= -2

-1/3 n-5+5= -2+5

-1/3×n=3

3/-1×-1/3×n=3/-1×3

n= -9

2) 46 = -6t -8

−6t−8=46

−6t−8+8=46+8

−6t=54

Divide both sides by -6

t=-9

Sum of two numbers = 15 (Addition)

Difference of two numbers =3 (Subtraction)

Find the two numbers.

What is the product of those two numbers? (Multiplication)

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are  x= 9 and y =6

The product of two numbers

x y  = 9 × 6 = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Let x and y are two numbers

Given that the sum of two numbers

 x + y = 15 ..(i)

Given that the difference of two numbers

x - y = 3 ..(ii)

adding (i) and (ii) , we get

x + y + x -y = 15 +3

  2 x = 18

    x =9

Step(ii):-

Substitute x = 9 in equation (i) , we get

x + y = 15

9 + y = 15

     y = 15 - 9

    y = 6

Final answer:-

The numbers are  x= 9 and y =6

The product of two numbers

x y  = 9 × 6 = 54
