Question

A garden contains 110110 ​flowers, each of which is either red or orange. There are 5555 orange flowers. If R represents the number of red flowers in the​ garden, what equation could you use to find the value of​ R?

Answer 1

The equation use to find the value of R is
`55+R=110`.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Number of flowers = 110

Number of orange flowers = 55

Let the number of red flowers be represented by 'R'

We need to find the equation used to find the value of R.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Total Number of flowers is equal to sum of Number of orange flowers and Number of red flowers.

representing in equation form we get;

`55+R=110`

Hence The equation use to find the value of R is
`55+R=110`.

On Solving the above equation we get;

We will subtract both side by 55 using Subtraction property of equality.

`55+R-55=110-55\\\\R=55`

Hence There are 55 red flowers in the garden.
