Answer:

[tex](a)\ y = 2x[/tex]

[tex](b)\ x= 12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]rose = \$2[/tex]

Solving (a): The equation

Let

y = total amount

x = number of roses

So:

If [tex]x = 1, y = 2[/tex]

If x = x.

[tex]y = 2* x[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x[/tex]

Solving (a): Number of roses for $24

This implies that

[tex]y = 24[/tex]

So:

[tex]y = 2x[/tex]

[tex]24 = 2x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]12 = x[/tex]

[tex]x = 12[/tex]
