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

Answer: 4.1 feet : 4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Bradley estimated the height of a tree at 2.5 meters. Carla estimated that tree's height at 8 feet.
The conversion ratio be used to compare Bradley's and Carla's estimates of the tree's height when measured in feet goes thus:
Since 1 feet = 0.305 meters
2.5 meters will be = 2.5/0.305 = 8.2 feet
Therefore the conversion ratio will be:.
= 8.2 : 8
Reducing to lowest term will be
= 4.1 feet : 4 feet.
= 4.1 : 4
Answer:
57 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of the triangle on the left
ABC
It has a base AC which is 9 units and a height of 3 units
A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 9) *3 = 27/2 = 13.5
Then find the area of the triangle on the right
DE
It has a base AC which is 6 units and a height of 1 units
A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 6) *1 = 3
Then find the area of the triangle on the top
It has a base AC which is 3 units and a height of 3 units
A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 3) *3 = 9/2 = 4.5
Then find the area of the rectangular region
A = lw = 6*6 = 36
Add them together
13.5+3+4.5+36 =57 units^2
