Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Variables:
Let R = rose bush cost and G = geranium cost
System of Equations
I. 10R + 3G = 86
II. R + 8G = 24
solving equation i and ii simultaneously,
R = 24 - 8G
10 (24 - 8G) + 3G = 86
240 - 80G + 3G = 86
240 - 77G = 86
G = (86 - 240) / (- 77)
= $2
Substituting V = 2 into the equation ii,
R + 8g = 24
R + 8(2) = 24
R = 24 - 16
R = $8
