Answer:
Day lilies and ornamental grass are $2, $8 respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
step one
we need to represent the scenario with a system of equation
let day lilies be represented with x
and ornamental grass be y
Hence we have
[tex]x+9y= 74--------1\\x+14y= 114------2[/tex]
Let us subtract 1 from 2 we have
[tex]x+14y= 114------2\\\\\\ -(x+9y= 74--------1\\=0+5y= 40[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 5 we have
y= 40/5
y= 8
step 2
Substitute y = 8 in equation 1 we have
x+9(8)= 74
x+72= 74
x=74-72
x= 2
Day lilies and ornamental grass are $2, $8 respectively
