Let
\n" ); document.write( "Brad buys Roses = x
\n" ); document.write( "Brad buys Daisies = x+3
\n" ); document.write( "Given
\n" ); document.write( "1 Rose cost = $2
\n" ); document.write( "1 Daisy = $1
\n" ); document.write( "Total cost of flowers = 45\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Roses*cost of a Rose + Daisies * cost of a Daisy = Total Cost of flowers
\n" ); document.write( "x*2+(x+3)*1=45
\n" ); document.write( "2x+x+3=45
\n" ); document.write( "3x+3=45
\n" ); document.write( "3x=45-3
\n" ); document.write( "3x=42
\n" ); document.write( "3x/3=42/3
\n" ); document.write( "x=14
\n" ); document.write( "Brad buys Roses = x = 14
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of Roses = 14*2=$28\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "======
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of 14 roses = 28
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of 17 Daisies = 17
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of Flowers = $45
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
