Answer to Question #72952 in Chemistry for Desiree Berger

Question

Farmer Brown planted 15 more rows of turnips than carrots. If the number of turnip rows was 35 less then twice the number of carrot rows, how many rows of each did Farmer Brown plant?

Answer 1

Let n be the amount of carrot rows. Then the number of turnip rows is equals n+15. Therefore:
(n+15)=2n-35
n=50
n+15=65
There were 50 carrot rows, and 65 turnip rows.
