Since a = b - 2, we can substitute this value into the other equation to find the value of b.  Once we have a value for b, we substitute it back into one of the equations to find the value for a.

a - 3b = 16
b - 2 - 3b = 16
-2 - 2b = 16
-2b = 18
b = -9

Now substitute back into the equation

a = b - 2
a = -9 - 2
a = -11

Solution set in the form (a, b) is...

(-11, -9)

4. Harry is going to send some flowers to his wife. Summerfield Florist charges $1 per rose, plus
k0ka [10]

The number of roses purchased will be; <em><u>12 roses</u></em>

The total cost of the bouquet is; <em><u>$51</u></em>

Let number of roses be x

For Summerfield florists;

At $1 per rose and $39 for the vase, cost is;

C = x + 39

For grayson's flowers;

At $3 per rose and $15 for the vase,total cost is;

C = 3x + 15

We are told when he orders a certain number of roses, the cost will be the same with each flower shop.

Thus;

x + 39 = 3x + 15

3x - x = 39 - 15

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

Total cost is;

C = 12 + 39

C = $51
