Answer:

One rose bush = $3

One bunch of ornamental grass = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations to solve for this. Let cost of 1 rose bush be r and cost of 1 ornamental grass be g. Thus we can form 2 equations:

14r+7g=70\\5r+14g=71

We can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can eliminate g. Thus, we have:

(*-2)14r+7g=70\\5r+14g=71\\-------\\-28r-14g=-140\\5r+14g=71\\--------\\-23r=-69\\r=\frac{-69}{-23}=3

Thus, 1 rose bush is $3. Now plugging in r = 3 into the first original equation, we can solve for g:

14r+7g=70\\14(3)+7g=70\\42+7g=70\\7g=70-42\\7g=28\\g=\frac{28}{7}=4

Thus, 1 bunch of ornamental grass is $4.

At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount. E
spayn [35]

At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.

Let x be  the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals

Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.

x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals

Derek made 7 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x

John made 5 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)

Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end

(A) 7x = 5(x+5)

(B) Solve for x

7x = 5x + 25

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x = 25

Divide by 2

x = 12.5

(C) check your solution

we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25

7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25

87.5 = 62.5+ 25

87.5 = 87.5

(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars
