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 =
= 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.
