» A florist makes bouquets that include 50 white flowers
and 7 red flowers. If the florist orders 1,050 white
flowers and 140 red flowers, there will be leftover
flowers. How can the florist adjust the order so there
are no leftover flowers?

The florist needs to order me 7 more red flowers then there will be enough for 21 bouquets, with no flowers left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

If she had given back 50 of the others then the florist would classify that as left over stock, so she would need to order and ask for 7 more.

1050 / 50 = 21

140/7 = 20

Get on the phone and get me 7 red roses.

stop cheating

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
