    z+c+t = 48, 7 zucchini, 14 Cucumbers, 22 tomatoes

    In this equation, we will change all plants in terms of zucchini

    zuccini=z (base term)

    cucumbers = 2z (two times the number of zucchini

    tomatoes = 2z+8 (eight more than cucumbers)

    z+c+t = 43

    z+2z+2z+8=43 combine like terms

    5z+8=43 subtract both sides by 8

    5z=35 divide by 5

    z=7

    Plug in values for z to solve for c and t

    cucumbers = 2 (7) = 14

    Tomatoes = 2 (7) + 8 = 22

    To answer this question you can create an equation in terms of the number of zucchini that were planted. Each other plant gives information that can relate to the number of zucchini plants.

    # of cucumbers + # of tomatoes + # of zucchini

    2z + 2z + 8 + z = 43

    5z + 8 = 43

    -8 - 8

    5z = 35

    5 5

    z = 7 plants

    There were 7 zucchini plants, 14 (2 x 7) cucumber plants, and 22 (2 x 7 + 8) tomato plants.
