Answer:
There are 3 red roses in Amy's garden.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
There are 4 times as many pink roses as red roses in Amy's garden.
There are 9 more pink roses than red roses.
Now, to find the red roses in Amy's garden.
Let the number of red roses be [tex]x[/tex].
So, the number of pink roses = [tex]4x.[/tex]
As given, there are 9 more pink roses than red roses.
According to question:
[tex]4x=x+9[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by [tex]x[/tex] we get:
[tex]3x=9[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 3 we get:
[tex]x=3.[/tex]
Therefore, there are 3 red roses in Amy's garden.
