Answer:
(2, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is the point where the two lines intersect. In this case, that is (2, 1)
8o+12y=362
12o+8y=388
Im choosing “o” for orchid and “y” for lily
20o+20y=750
20o=750–20y
o=37.5–y
(37.5–y)+20y=750
-y+20y=712.5
19y=712.5
y=37.5
So, lilies sell for $37.50
Algebra is solving for the unknown so
if you have 10 apples and you give 5 to your friend, how many apples would you have so that is also 10-5=x solve for x
or it could be more complicated like (x-2)/6+4x-3=17
