Garden one has 9 more bushes of red currant than garden two. if 3 bushes were transplanted from garden two to garden one, then garden one would have 1.5 times more bushes than garden two. how many currant bushes are there in garden one?

Garden one and two are both unknown, so I am choosing to call garden 2 X and then label garden 1 with comparisons to X.

It is tempting to list:

Garden Two = X

Garden One = X + 9

BUT there is an easier way. We are told that when 3 bushes are taken from garden 2 (x-3) and put in garden 1 (x + 12) then garden one has 1.5 times more than garden two.

Set it up like this:

1.5 ( x - 3) = x + 12 (because 1.5 times garden 2 will give us garden 1)

1.5x - 4.5 = x + 12 (Distribute)

.5x = 16.5 (Use subtraction to move variables to the right and other numb left)

x = 33 for Garden 2

33  + 9 for Garden 1 = 42

answer: 1 + 1 = 11

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
