Garden a has 9 more currant bushes than garden b. if 3 currant bushes are transplanted from garden b to garden a, then garden a will have 1.5 times more currant bushes than garden b. how many currant bushes are in garden a before the transplant?

Garden A has 42 currant bushes before the transplant

Explanation:

Suppose garden A is x and garden B is y

Forming the linear equations

Garden A has  9 more currant bushes than garden B

Therefore

x=y+9 --------(1)

If 3 currant bushes are transplanted from Garden B to Garden A, then Garden A will have 1.5 times more currant bushes than Garden B.

When 3 currant bushes are transplanted then the new equation becomes

x=y+12--------(2)

Further after transplanting

x+3= 1.5y----------(3)

putting the value of y from equation 2 into equation 3

x+3 = 1.5(x-12)

x+3= 1.5x-18

x-1.5x=-18-3

-0.5x=-21

x=42

Hence garden A has 42 currant bushes before the transplant

4 + 5 7/9= 9 7/9
