Question

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP

In the first yard there are 10 roses less than in the second one. If 9 roses were transplanted from the second yard to the first one, then the first yard would have 2 times more roses than the second one. How many roses are there in the second yard?

Answer 1

I would say, well I THINK It's 2

Answer 2

Answer:

19 roses

Step-by-step explanation:

Say 1st yard = x and 2nd yard = y

Our system is:

x = y - 10

x + 9 = 2((y - 10) - 9)

We can use substitution: y - 10 + 9 = 2y - 20 - 18

-> y - 19 = 2y - 38 -> 19 = y
