Answer:
[tex](a)\ y = 2x[/tex]
[tex](b)\ x= 12[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]rose = \$2[/tex]
Solving (a): The equation
Let
y = total amount
x = number of roses
So:
If [tex]x = 1, y = 2[/tex]
If x = x.
[tex]y = 2* x[/tex]
[tex]y = 2x[/tex]
Solving (a): Number of roses for $24
This implies that
[tex]y = 24[/tex]
So:
[tex]y = 2x[/tex]
[tex]24 = 2x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]12 = x[/tex]
[tex]x = 12[/tex]
