a) Write and expression for the number of daffodils he can plant.



b) he actually planted 33 daffodils. Use this information to form an equation.



c) Solve this equation to find the numberof daffodils in each bag.





Please help. : )



thankyou.



LY ALL. %26lt;3

Algebra Problem, please help :)?
a) expression will be 4t-7

b)33=4t-7

c)t=10
Reply:4 bags with "t" daffodils = 4xt = 4t

planted daffodils = 33

bad daffodils = 7



total daffodils

number of planted daffodils + number of bad daffodils

which = 33 + 7

= 40

now 4t = 40

by dividing by 4 on both sides we get

4t/4 = 40/4

t = 10



solution set

total daffodils=40

daffodils in each bag=10
