Question

A flower garden has three times as many red roses as pink roses. Twice the number of red roses is equal to four times the number of pink roses increased by ten. How many red roses are there? How many pink roses are there?

Answer 1

x = red roses
y = pink roses

y = 3y
2x = 4y + 10

solve the system for your answer

Answer 2

there are 1 red roses and two pink roses

Answer 3

15 red roses and 5 pink roses

Let x represent red roses
Let y represent pink roses

2x=4y+10
x=3y

2x=4y+10
2(3y)=4y+10
6y=4y+10
6y-4y=10
2y=10
2y/2=10/2
y=5

x=3p
x=3(5)
x=15

Therefore, there are 15 red roses and 5 pink roses
