A bee flies at 6 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 4 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 18 minutes. a. What equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive? b. How far is the flowerbed from the hive?

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
