Answer 1

Denny's bouquet will hold both 16 roses and 16 carnations.

Explanation:

0.75x16= 12

0.5x16= 8

12+8=20

Answer 2

8 roses and 12 carnations.

Explanation:

For this question, we can use substitution.

r + c = 20, so r = 20 - c.

Substitute this into the second equation, and we get (0.75)(20 - c) + 0.5 c = 12

We can expand, getting 15 - 0.75c + 0.5c = 12.

Combine like terms, and we get 0.25c = 3.

We then solve for c: 12.

Plug this back into the first equation, and we get r = 8.

There are 8 roses and 12 carnations in Denny's bouquet.
