Hello,

p = -6 * 7 / 3 = -14

The goal is to isolate the variable p, right?

Lets write this out:

3/7 p = -6

We need to move 3/7 to the other side so that p can be isolated, lets do that.

3/7 ÷ 3/7 p = -6 ÷ 3/7

How does this work? Why did I do it to both sides?

When I divided 3/7 by 3/7 they canceled out, because whenever you divide something by itself it equals 1.

I divided -6 by 3/7 because because there is an equal sign, and a rule of thumb is that whatever you do on one side of the equation, you do to the other.

Now we have the equation:

p = -6 ÷ 3/7

therefore p = -14

Hope I was of use.

Cheers,

Let
b---------> the cost of one flower bouquet
v--------> the cost of one vase.

we know that
2b+2v=12.50-----> Multiplied by -1------------->-2b-2v=-12.50
8b+2v=29---------------------------------------------> 8b+2v=29
I add the two equations ------------------------
6b=16.50
b=2.75
2*2.75+2*v=12.50---------------> v=(12.50-5.5)/2---------> v=3.5

the answer is
the cost of one flower bouquet is $2.75
the cost of one vase is $3.5
