I just took the quiz.
Answer:
- <u><em>The cost of one rose bush is $ 9 and the cost on one bunch pf ornamental grass is $ 8.</em></u>
Explanation:
Name the variables and build a system of two equations with two unknowns.
<u>1. Variable r</u>: cost of one rose bush
<u>2. Variable g</u>: cost of one bunch of ornamental grass.
<u>3. First equation</u>:
- Shreya spent $68 on 4 rose bushes and 4 bunches of ornamental grass.
4r + 4g = 68
<u>4. Second equation</u>:
- Beth spent $115 on 11 rose bushes and 2 bunches of ornaments grass.
<u>5. System of equations</u>:
- 11r + 2g = 115 equation 2
<u>6. Solve the system</u>
a) Divide the equation 1 by 2:
- 11r + 2g = 115 equation 2
b) Subtract equation 1a from equation 2:
c) Substitute the value of r into the equation 1a:
<u>7. Conclusion</u>:
The cost of one rose bush is $ 9 and the cost on one bunch pf ornamental grass is $ 8.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y = 8
<u> x + y = - 2 </u>
3x = 6
3x /3 = 6/3 Dividing bot sides by 3 to find x.
x = 2
Plug in the value of x to find y.
2 ( 2) - y = 8
4 - y = 8
-y = 8 - 4
- y = 4
y = -4
The solution: ( 2, -4)
