The cost of one rose bush is $12 and cost of one geranium is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of one rose = x

Cost of one geranium = y

According to given statement;

3x+12y=84    Eqn 1

8x+6y=120    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 2

2(8x+6y=120)\\16x+12y=240\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

(16x+12y)-(3x+12y)=240-84\\16x+12y-3x-12y=156\\13x=156\\

Dividing both sides by 13

\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{156}{13}\\x=12

Putting x=12 in Eqn 1

3(12)+12y=84\\36+12y=84\\12y=84-36\\12y=48

Dividing both sides by 12

\frac{12y}{12}=\frac{48}{12}\\y=4

The cost of one rose bush is $12 and cost of one geranium is $4.

What is a equation in slope intercept form for the line that has a slope -1 that passes through (-4,3)
aleksley [76]

slope is -1

m=-1

we have a point as (-4,3)

we can use slope intercept form of line

y=mx+b

we can plug m=-1

y=-x+b

now, we can plug point (-4,3)

x=-4 and y=3 and then we can find b

3=-1*-4+b

b=-1

now, we can plug back

and we get

y=-x-1............Answer

The least common multiple of two numbers is 60, and one of the numbers is 7 less than the other number. What are the numbers?
storchak [24]
Step One - List the factors of 60.
Step Two - Locate the factors that are seven apart from each other.

Factors of 60:
1 × 60
2 × 30
3 × 20
4 × 15
5 × 12
6 × 10

60 - 1 = 59
30 - 2 = 28
20 - 3 = 17
15 - 4 = 11
12 - 5 = 7
10 - 6 = 4

5 is 7 less than 12, and 60 is their least common multiple.

Answer: 5 and 12
