Hector is going to send some flowers to his wife. Greenwood Florist charges $3 per rose, plus$11 for the vase. Brett's Flowers, in contrast, charges $1 per rose and $41 for the vase. If Hector orders the bouquet with a certain number of roses, the cost will be the same with either flower shop. How many roses would there be? What would the total cost be?

Let x be the number of roses,then

3x + 11=x + 41

2x=30

x=15 roses, he must order

$15 + $41=$56 This is the cost from Brett Flowers

$45 +$11=$56  This is the cost from Greenwood Florist
