Answer:
Cost of 1 rose bush = x = $5
Cost of 1 geraniums = y = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
DeShawn and Mike each improved their yards by planting rose bushes and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same store.
Let us represent:
Cost of 1 rose bush = x
Cost of 1 geraniums = y
DeShawn spent $13 on 1 rose bush and 4 geraniums.
x + 4y = 13..... Equation 1
x = 13 - 4y
Mike spent $56 on 10 rose bushes and 3 geraniums.
10x + 3y = 56....... Equation 2
We substitute 13 - 4y for x in Equation 2
10(13 - 4y) + 3y = 56
130 - 40y + 3y = 56
Collect like terms
- 40y + 3y = 56 - 130
-37y = -74
y = -74/37
y = $2
Solving for x
x = 13 - 4y
x = _13 - 4 × $2
x = $13 - $8
x = $5
Therefore,
Cost of 1 rose bush = x = $5
Cost of 1 geraniums = y = $2
Let us say that this number is n
Then we could say:
<em><u>n - 9</u></em>
Answer:
It is A ( sister helped me if it does not work it is B) \
Have a great day and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
No, because
60/3 = 20
90/6= 15
Both of the answers aren’t equivalent.
A. You can use y=mx+b to find the rate of change of a bushel corn in the current year. The rate of change would be y=8x.
B. One bushel is worth 8$ (24/3 = 8) in the current year, and in the previous year one bushel was worth 7$ (21/3= 7). Therefore there was a 1$ raise from the previous year to the current year.
