Sarah creates bouquets of flowers with an equal number of flowers in each bouquet. She had 240 flowers when she started, with 128 flowers remaining after she created 7 bouquets. This situation can be represented by the linear equation y=24 - 1x where y is the total number of flowers, and x is the number of bouquets created. How many flowers are in each bouquet? (The variables can only be positive numbers.)

16 flowers per bouquet

Step-by-step explanation:

if you try to solve this question using the given equations the answer will not make a lot of sense:

y = 24 - 1x

128 = 24 - 7x

-7x = 128 - 24 = 104

x = 104 / -7 = -14.86 flowers

the equation is not correct, it should be:

y = 240 - 1x

128 = 240 - 7x

7x = 240 - 128 = 112

x = 112 / 7 = 16 flowers per bouquet

domain is all the x values included in the

0 ≤ x ≤ 2

range is all the y values of the graph

-2 ≤ y ≤ 2

***keep in mind that there are different ways to show domain and range

hope this !
