Mr. lim bought an equal number of red and yellow tulips. He gave away 24 red tulips. Then tere were4 times as many yellow tulips. How mani tulips did he buy?
Anna is 14 kg heavier than lily. Sharon is 8 kg lighter than Bona. If lili weights 48 kg, find the total mass of sharon and anna
X+X = 2x = Total bought.
Red Tulips: x-24
Yellow: 4(x-24)
2x-24 Tulips remaining.
x-24 + 4(x-24) = 2x-24
x-24 + 4x-96 = 2x-24
3x = 120-24 = 96
X = 32
2x = 64
To find the number of tulips Mr. Lim bought, let's break down the information provided.
1. It is mentioned that Mr. Lim bought an equal number of red and yellow tulips.
2. After giving away 24 red tulips, there were four times as many yellow tulips remaining.
Let's assume the number of red and yellow tulips Mr. Lim bought is represented by the variable "x".
1. Initially, Mr. Lim had x red tulips and x yellow tulips.
2. After giving away 24 red tulips, he had x - 24 red tulips remaining.
3. It is stated that there were four times as many yellow tulips remaining. So the number of yellow tulips would be 4 times (x - 24).
4. Therefore, the equation can be formed as: x - 24 = 4(x - 24).
Now, let's solve the equation:
x - 24 = 4(x - 24)
x - 24 = 4x - 96 (Use the distributive property)
3x = 72 (Subtract 4x and add 24 to both sides)
x = 24 (Divide both sides by 3)
Therefore, Mr. Lim bought 24 red and 24 yellow tulips.
