Answer:
Cost of 1 rose bush = x = $5
Cost of 1 geraniums = y = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
DeShawn and Mike each improved their yards by planting rose bushes and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same store.
Let us represent:
Cost of 1 rose bush = x
Cost of 1 geraniums = y
DeShawn spent $13 on 1 rose bush and 4 geraniums.
x + 4y = 13..... Equation 1
x = 13 - 4y
Mike spent $56 on 10 rose bushes and 3 geraniums.
10x + 3y = 56....... Equation 2
We substitute 13 - 4y for x in Equation 2
10(13 - 4y) + 3y = 56
130 - 40y + 3y = 56
Collect like terms
- 40y + 3y = 56 - 130
-37y = -74
y = -74/37
y = $2
Solving for x
x = 13 - 4y
x = _13 - 4 × $2
x = $13 - $8
x = $5
Therefore,
Cost of 1 rose bush = x = $5
Cost of 1 geraniums = y = $2
Answer:
54 ~ see below for explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
you're going to replace n with the 6 since n= 6
so (8+3)6
then you're going to add 8+3 in the parenthesis because of PEMDAS
(9)6
you're going to multiply 6 by 9 since 9 is in parenthesis (a number in parenthesis means multiply)
then you get 54 so the answer would be 54.
The formula of the line is
y=mx + b
The likes goes through the point (0,0)
that means that y-int = 0, b=0
y=mx
So we need to find only slope.
The equation is 4 meatballs for every adult and 3 for every child. Replace a and c and solve:
M = 4(20) + 2(8)
M = 80 + 16
M = 96
They need 96 meatballs.
