Answer: it cost a customer $7.25 to buy five tulips and $10.5 to buy six roses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of 1 tulip.
Let y represent the cost of 1 rose.
The price of each tulip is the same and the price of each roses the same. One customer bought seven tulips and nine roses for $25.90. This means that
7x + 9y = 25.9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Another customer bought for four tulips and eight roses for $19.80. This means that
4x + 8y = 19.8- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 7, it becomes
28x + 36y = 103.6
28x + 56y = 138.6
Subtracting, it becomes
- 20y = - 35
y = - 35/ - 20
y = 1.75
Substituting y = 1.75 into equation 2, it becomes
4x + 8 × 1.75 = 19.8
4x + 14 = 19.8
4x = 19.8 - 14 = 5.8
x = 5.8/4
x = 1.45
The cost of 5 tulips would be
1.45 × 5 = $7.25
The cost of 6 roses would be
1.75 × 6 = $10.5
Answer:t=1
Step-by-step explanation:
16-2t=t+9+4t
Collect like terms
4t+2t+t=16-9
Combine like terms
7t=7
Divide both sides by 7
7t ➗ 7=7 ➗ 7
t=1
Answer:
y = x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
m, gradient = (5 - 3)/(9-7) = 1
Formula : x - x1 = m( y - y1 )
y - 3 = 1 ( x -7)
Equation : y = x -4
Answer: x=7.7, y=40
3/x = 15/38.5
38.5*3=115.5
115.5/15= 7.7
x=7.7
3/8 = 15/y
15*8=120
120/3= 40
y=40
orrrr you can just easily find the scale factor which is 5, multiply 8 by 5 and get 40. And 38.5/5 which is 7.7
3 becuse you put the numbers wrong
