Answer:

The cost of 1 Douglas Fir Tree = $30

The cost of 1 Noble Fir Tree = $ 79

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 Douglas Fir tree =  $ x

Let the cost of 1 Noble Fir tree = $ y

Total Amount Earned in morning = $2,417

Total Amount Earned in evening = $2,022

Now, according to the question:

20 x + 23 y = 2417

and 20 x + 18 y = 2022

Subtraction both equation , we get

20 x + 23 y  - (20 x + 23 y)  = 2417 - 2022

or,  20x - 20x + 23 y - 18 y  = 395

or, 5 y = 395

⇒ y = 395 / 5 =  79

Hence, the cost of 1 Noble Fir Tree = $ 79

Now, put the value of y in 20 x + 23 y = 2417 , we get

20x + 23(79) = 2417

or, 20x = 2417 - 1817 = 600

or, x  = 600/20  = 30

Hence, the cost of 1 Douglas Fir Tree = $30

Kruka [31]
M = -12
point = (0, 1/2)

Find the slope-intercept equation
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 1/2 = -12 (x - 0)
y - 1/2 = -12x
y = -12x + 1/2
