Answer:

Lets represent the flowers with the colors and form equations;

So let the Red flower be R;

Blue flower be B &

Yellow flower be F.

So we can write the first equation as;

R + R + R = 60

i.e 3R = 60.

Therefore;

R = 20

Now the second equation can be written as;

R + B + B = 30;

20 + 2B = 30

2B = 10

B = 5.

Now the 3rd equation can be written as;

B – 2Y = 3

5- 2Y = 3

2Y = 2

Therefore;

Y = 1

The last equation is;

R + B + Y = ?

20 + 5 + 1 = 26;

Answer = 26
