Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer: 2x + 3y = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of daisies

Let y = number of tulips

Since one sister likes daises which costs $2.00 per stem and the other likes tulips which costs $3.00 per stem, the inequality that could be use to determine how many of each flower he could buy if he only has $35.00 to spend will be:

2x + 3y = 35
