Question

A gardener planted a total of 328 flowers in a garden .The sunflowers were 17 less than thrice the rose flowers and marigold flowers were 20 more than rose flowers. What was the number of sunflowers ,marigold flowers and rose flowers planted.​

Answer 1

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of flowers = 328

Number of Roses be x

Number of sunflower be x-13

Number of Marigold be x +20

= x+(x-13)+(x+20)= 328

x+3x+x+20-17 = 328

5x + 3 = 328

5x = 328 - 3

5x = 325

x= 325/5

=65

Hope it helps you

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of rose flowers be x

so, the number of sunflowers = 3x-17

and the number of marigold = x+20

a/q

x + (3x-17) + (x+20) = 328

or, x + 3x - 17 + x + 20 = 328

or, 5x + 3 = 328

or, 5x = 328-3

So, X = 325/5 = 65
