Question

In Parul's garden, there are 25 rows of vegetables. She has five more rows of peppers than tomatoes and two fewer rows of cucumbers than tomatoes. If y represents the number of rows of tomatoes in the garden, then which number sentence can be used to find how many rows of each vegetable were planted?

A y + (y + 5) + (y + 2) + y = 25
B (y + 5) + y = 25
C (y + 5) + (y - 2) = 25
D (y + 5) + (y - 2) + y = 25​

Answer 1

Answer:

D (y + 5) + (y - 2) + y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

= y = 6.25

= (y + 5) + (y - 2) + y = 25

= 3y + y = 25

= 4y = 25

= y = 6.25

Answer 2

Answer:

D option is correct.

(y + 5) + (y - 2) + y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of rows = 25 = Rows of cucumber + rows of pepper + rows of tomatoes

note: y represent rows of tomatoes

Rows of Cucumber = 5+y

Rows of pepper = y-2

Now according to statment, total number of rows of all three types of vegetables are 25. so, we can write it as

25 = Rows of cucumber + rows of pepper + rows of tomatoes

by putting the values in above statement, we get:

(y + 5) + (y - 2) + y = 25
