Question

For a floral arrangement class, Jayvon has to create an arrangement of twigs and flowers that has a total of 9 objects. Jayvon has to pay for the twigs and flowers that he uses in his arrangement. Each twig costs $1, and each flower costs $3. He spends a total of $15 on the twigs and flowers. Write and solve a linear system to find the number of twigs and the number of flowers he used. Use the method of substitution.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 flowers 6 twigs

Step-by-step explanation:

set flowers to x and twigs to y

15 = 3x + y subtract 3x both sides to get y

9 = x+y sub 15-3x in for y 9= x + 15-3x simplify to 2x =6 so x =3 put that in for x in 9=x+y 9= 3+ y so y =6
