Q. This equation shows how the number of flowers Lucia can have in her garden is related to the number of seed packets she purchases.f=s+9The variable s represents the number of seed packets she purchases, and the variable f represents the total number of flowers in the garden. With 1 seed packet, how many total flowers can Lucia have in her garden?_____ flowers
Identify variable for seed packet: Identify the variable that 1 seed packet corresponds to. s represents the number of seed packets Lucia purchases. So, 1 seed packet gives the value for s.
Substitute value for s: We know that s=1. Plug in the value for s in f=s+9. f=s+9 Substitute s with 1. f=1+9
Solve for total flowers:f=1+9. Solve for f. f=s+9f=1+9=10 Therefore, the total number of flowers Lucia can have with 1 seed packet is 10.
