12 bouquets

=================

Let the number of bouquets be x.

The initial amount  of tulips is 4x + 18 and roses is 3x + 30.

Since they are equal, we can set up equation:

  • 4x + 18 = 3x + 30

Solving for x yields:

  • 4x - 3x  = 30 - 18
  • x = 12

Hence the number of bouquets that were made is 12.
