With the given information, we can create several equations:
120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y
With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.
To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination
For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:
We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:
-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative
Multiply out:
-1200 = -120x - 20y
+ 1800 = 120x + 120y => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y
Now we can solve for y:
y = 6
With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:
120 = 12x + 2y => 120 = 12x + 2(6)
Now we can solve for x:
120 = 12x + 12 => 108 = 12x
x = 9
So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.
With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.
2/9 is 32/144 in simplest form

Step-by-step explanation:
We can identify that the missing reason in the proof is: Definition of Congruent angles.
<h3>How to give proof of a congruent triangle?</h3>
We know that an angle measure of 90° of ∠ABC in the triangle means that it is a right angle triangle.
We also see that ∠ADB is also a right angle and is equal to 90°.
Now, since they have exactly the same measure, these angles are congruent. Then we can say that the angles are congruent and as such:
∠ABC ≅ ∠ABD
Thus, we can identify that the missing reason is: Definition of Congruent angles.
