Verified Answer :

If he gave 10 to his neighbor and 1/2 of what was left to his niece and had 14 left over that means 14 × 2 + 10 is what Mr. Charles started with ☺️ Answer 38 Right?

The number of roses Mr. Charles cut is 38.

Determining the equation that can be used to represent the number of roses Mr. Charles cut.

Let the number of roses Mr Charles cut be represented with y.

  • Number of roses left after he gave roses to his neighbourhood = y - 10
  • Number of roses left after he gave roses to his niece = 1/2(y - 10)
  • If he kept 14 roses, this can be represented with this equation: 14 = 1/2(y - 10)

Determining the  number of roses Mr. Charles cut.

Given this equation: 14 = 1/2(y - 10), in order to determine the number of roses cut, take the following steps:

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2

28 = y - 10

Combine similar terms

28 + 10 = y

y = 38.
