Let x be cost of one daylily and y be the cost of one scrub.

Ashley spent $45 on 7 daylilies and 2 shrubs. 7 daylilies cost 7x and 2 shrubs cost 2y, in total 7x+2y that is $45. The first equation is 7x+2y=45.

Lisa spent $174 on 14 daylilies and 11 shurbs. 14 daylilies cost 14x and 11 shrubs cost 11y, in total 14x+11y that is $174. The second equation is 14x+11y=144.

Solve this system. Wit hthis aim multiply first equation by 2 and the subtract second equation from first:

2·(7x+2y)-(14x+11y) =2·45-174,

14x+4y-14x-11y=90-174,

-7y=-84,

7y=84,

y=84÷7,

y=12.

Then substitute into first equation:

7x+2·12=45,

7x+24=45,

7x=45-24,

7x=21,

x=21÷7,

x=3.

Answer: the cost of one daylily is $3 and the cost of one scrub is $12.

Type the slope-intercept equation
Zolol [24]

Answer: y=x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

P=(x1,y1), and Q=(x2,y2), we use this to find m because m=y2-y1/x2-x1, by using this you'll see that the slope equals one. So now we have our slope. To solve for b, you need to do b=y1-m*x1, or b=y2-m^x2, it doesn't matter which one you do because the results will be the same, but it is good to check over it. Now that you have your slope and y-intercept, you can put it into the equation y=mx+b, so the answer to the problem is y=x-2.

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Valentines Day! :-)

To make a square for x²+bx=c, add( \frac{1}{2} b)²on both side
in this case, b is-3/4, half of b is -3/8, and (-3/8)² is 9/64, so you add 9/64 to both side.
