maths problem

(1/4) > >>

spookyjaransh:
a gardner has 357 tulips to plant. if she plants x rows with y bulbs in each row, the equation fr the bulbs left over would be 357-xy (right?). if 10<x<20 and y>20, what r x and y ??

Ghost Of Highbury:
which past paper q is this?

holychalice:
y = 21 nd x = 17 ...
im nt sure ... is it frm a past ppr ?

nid404:
The question seems incomplete....

The only way i thought we can solve this was by taking factors of 357

357

the only way to write 357 for x between 10 and 20 and y greater than 20 would be 17X21(since they have to be whole no.s)

hence x=17 and y=21

but i still thing there's summin missin.....
