Question

a florist is preparing for a wedding reception. he will need to use 12 roses to make a small bouquet for each round table. he will also need to use 36 roses for a huge centerpiece for the wedding partys long table. write an equation that shows how the total number of roses used, y, depends on the number of round tables, x. y =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate roses for round tables

The number of roses for $x$ round - tables is $12x$ since each round - table needs 12 roses.

Step2: Add roses for long - table

We also need to add the 36 roses for the long - table.
The total number of roses $y$ is the sum of roses for round tables and roses for the long - table. So, $y = 12x+36$.

Answer:

$y = 12x + 36$
