Answer 1

The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Mr. Ellis has started a vegetable garden.

He bought 15 bags of soil and 3 bags of fertilizer for 282.72.

He realized he did not have enough supplies so he bought another 5 bags of soil and 2 bags of fertilizer for 107.23.

Let the cost of each bag of soil be x and the cost of a bag of fertilizer be y.

Then we have the linear equations,

15x + 3y = 282.72

5x + 2y = 107.23

On solving the equations 1 and 2, we have

x = 16.25 and y = 12.99

The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.
