When 2 lines are coinciding, this means its the same line.
One equation is simply a multiple of the other.
8x = 4x*2
This means the multiplier is 2
5y*2 = 10y
8*2 = 16
The missing values are 10y and 16
Let x represent the number of plants that they will sell in five hours
We were told that the garden store sells six plants per hour. This means that
6 plants = 1 hour
then,
x plants = 5 hours
By cross multiplying, it becomes
x * 1 = 6 * 5
x = 30
They will sell 30 plants in 5 hoursx
