Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
The volume of the pyramid is 15 yd

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(2) is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
if you multiply the given equation by 3 you get answer (2):
3(4x - 3y) = 3(12)
12x - 9y = 36
1 pound = 16 ounces
20 pounds = 320 ounces
320 ounces + 7 ounces = 327 ounces
