Answer:

Cost of one rose bush =  $2 and cost of 1 geranium = $11

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume cost of one rose bush = $x

lets assume cost of one geranium = $y

Given that Norachai spent $13 on 1 rose and 1 geranium

⇒ 1 × (cost of one rose bush) + 1× (cost of one geranium) = 13

⇒ 1x + 1y = 13     ----------------------------equation 1

Also given that Castel spent $46 on 1 rose bush and 4 geraniums

⇒1 × (cost of one rose bush) + 4× (cost of one geranium) = 46

⇒ 1x + 4y = 46    ----------------------------equation 2

Now we are having following two equations which will be used to find the value of x and y

1x + 1y = 13     ----------------------------equation 1

1x + 4y = 46    ----------------------------equation 2

lets modify equation 1 to get value of  y in terms of x and name that equation as equation 3

1x + 1y = 13     ----------------------------equation 1

⇒ y = 13 - x    -----------------------------equation 3

On substituting value of y from equation 3 in equation 2 we get

1x + 4 × ( 13 - x ) = 46

⇒ x + 52-4x =46

⇒ -3x = 46-52

⇒     x = (-6)/(-3) = 2

on substituting calculated value of x that is 2 in equation 3 we get

y = 13 -2 = 11

so on solving the equations we get x = 2 and y = 11.

Hence cost of 1 rose bush = $x = $2 and cost of 1 geranium = $y = $11

Michelle can fold 4 baskets of clothes in 54 minutes, while Ruby can fold 4 baskets of clothes in 108 minutes. How long will it
padilas [110]
Michelle can fold 4/54 baskets per minute = 8/108 baskets per minute.
Ruby can fold 4/108 baskets per minute.

Each minute Michelle and Ruby work together, they can fold
   8/108 +4/108 = 12/108 = 1/9
of a basket of clothes. For 8 baskets of clothes, it will take them
   (8 baskets)/(1/9 baskets/minute) = 72 minutes

Could someone help me answer this? <br> Solve -2log8(x + 1) = -8.<br> Thanks so much!
drek231 [11]
Step one, divide both sides by -2
log8(x+1)=4

if the base is 10, and the 8 is together with (x+1): (cannot tell from the way it is written)
8(x+1)=10^4=10000
x+1=1250
x=1249

if the 8 is a base, 
8^4=(x+1)
x+1=4096
x=4095
