The seniors on the student council bought a total of 36 plants to use in landscaping the front of the school. They bought some azaleas that cost $6 each and some lilles that cost $5 each. They spent a total of $196 on these plants. How many azaleas did the students buy?

The students bought 16 azaleas plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total plants bought by student council = 36

Cost of each azaleas plant = $6

Cost of each lily plant = $5

Total amount spent = $196

Let,

x be the number of azaleas

y be the number of lilies

x+y = 36       Eqn 1

6x+5y=196     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 6

6(x+y=36)

6x+6y=216      Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(6x+6y)-(6x+5y)=216-196

6x+6y-6x-5y=20

y=20

Putting y=20 in Eqn 1

x+20=36

x=36-20

x=16

Hence,

The students bought 16 azaleas plants.

30 units^2

step-by-step explanation:

area is l × w

the length is 3

and the width is 10

3 × 10= 30 units squared

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
