Question

Please help me with this problem

Dasha has 4 times more rose bushes in her garden than Anna. After 39 rose bushes were replanted into Anna's garden, the number of bushes in both gardens became the same. How many rose bushes did Dasha's have originally?

Answer 1

104 rose bushes

Explanation:

Answer 2

Dasha has 52 roses

Explanation:

Rewrite the first sentence in an equation: (D= Dasha) (A= Anna)

D=4A

Rewrite the second sentence in an equation:

A+39=D

1) Substitute A+39 as D in the first equation:

A+39=4A

2) Subtract A from both sides:

3A=39

3) Divide both sides by 3:

A=13

4) Now substitute 13 as A in the second equation:

13+39=D

5) Solve:

D=52
