Answer:

The cost of one rose is $11., and the cost of one geranium is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of one rose bush and one geranium can be determined by the use of simultaneous equation. Let the cost of a rose bush be represented by x, and the cost of one geranium by y.

So that,

13x + y = 148 .............. 1

9x + 14 y = 169 ............... 2

From eqaution 1,

y = 148 - 13x ............... 3

substitute the value of y in equation 2

9x + 14(148 - 13x) = 169

9x + 2072 - 182x = 169

2072 - 169 = 182x - 9x

1903 = 173x

x = \frac{1903}{173}

  = 11

x = 11

substitute the value of x in equation 3

y = 148 - 13x

  = 148 - 13(11)

  = 148 - 143

y = 5

x = 11, y = 5

Thus, the cost of one rose is $11., and the cost of one geranium is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the number 250,000. you have to get the decimal between 1.00 and 10.00 to do this we are going to move the decimal over left one at a time.

25,000.0

2,500.00

250.000

25.0000                     25 is really close but not between 1 and 10 so were going to move the decimal one more time

Sqrt of 125
10^2 +b^2= 15^2
100 +b^2=225
B^2=125
No perfect square for 125 so leave it in radical form
