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: 5</h3>
=========================================================
One method is to plot the points P(3,6) and Q(7,3) on the same xy grid. Plot a third point R at (3,3). See the diagram below.
A right triangle forms in which we can find the legs PR = 3 and RQ = 4. The hypotenuse is found through the pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+4^2 = c^2
9+16 = c^2
c^2 = 25
c = sqrt(25)
c = 5
This is the length of PQ
-----------------------------------
Or you can use the distance formula which is effectively using the pythagorean theorem just in a slightly different format (though it may not be obvious).
The answer would be A 4.2x3.7
72y+108z Factored is 36(2y+3z). So I guess the 2 factors will be 2y and 3z??
