Kenya picked 18 flowers from her garden. if 3/5 flowers in her garden remain unpicked, how many flowers are still in her garden?

Let the total number of flowers be x and remaining flowers be y
x-18=(3/5)x

x-((3/5)*x)-18 = 0

x+(-3/5)*x-18 = 0

2/5*x-18 = 0 

2/5*x = 18 

x = 18/2/5

x = 45

total flowers = 45 
plucked flowers = 18
remaining flowers = y= 45-18 = 27
