a red rosebush has three times as many brooms as a punk rosebush. together they have 48 blooms . which of the following is the number of blooms on the red bush?

p + 3p = 48

now you can find pink, and red = 3 times that.

To find the number of blooms on the red rosebush, we can set up equations based on the given information. Let's assume that the number of brooms on the punk rosebush is x.

According to the problem, the red rosebush has three times as many brooms as the punk rosebush. So, the number of brooms on the red rosebush would be 3x.

We know that the total number of blooms for both rosebushes combined is 48. Therefore, we can write the equation:

x + 3x = 48

Combine like terms:

4x = 48

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 48/4

x = 12

So, the punk rosebush has 12 brooms.

Now, we can find the number of blooms on the red rosebush by substituting x=12 into the equation:

Number of blooms on the red rosebush = 3x = 3 * 12 = 36

Therefore, the number of blooms on the red rosebush is 36.
