PLEASE HELP! Answer quickly for points!! There are 5 times as many tomato plants as there are cucumber plants. The number of pepper plants is 7 more than the sum as tomato and cucumber plants. There are 19 pepper plants in the garden. How many tomato plants are there. How many cucumber plants are there?



Answer :

let x= cucumber plants
5x= tomato plants
6x+7= pepper plants
peppers = 19 
therefore
6x+7=19
subtract 7 from both sides
6x= 12
 divide both sides by 6
x=2
replace the x with 2

2= cucumber plants
10= tomato plants

hope this helps
