Question

jayden is planting flowers in the backyard. he has already planted 26 flowers, and wants to plant 7 flowers every day. for how many days does he need to plant flowers to plant exactly 54 flowers?
what does your answer of 4 mean in this situation?
7d + 26 = 54
\td = 4
jayden can plant 4 flowers to fill the garden.
jayden needs to plant flowers for 4 days to fill the garden.
jayden spends $4 on each flower.

Explanation:

In the equation \(7d + 26 = 54\), \(d\) represents the number of days Jayden plants flowers. Solving gives \(d = 4\), which means the number of days he needs to plant to reach 54 flowers. The first option is wrong as 4 isn't the number of flowers. The third option is irrelevant as the problem is about planting days, not cost. So the correct interpretation is the second option.

Answer:

B. Jayden needs to plant flowers for 4 days to fill the garden.
