Answer 1

Answer:

• Roses = $5
• Seasonal grass = $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of roses be x and the seasonal grass be y.

The equations:

• Becky: 6x + 7y = 93
• Jamie: 14x + 14y = 196

Solve the system by elimination. Divide the second equation by 2 and subtract the first equation, solve for x:

• 14x/2 + 14y/2 - 6x - 7y = 196/2 - 93
• 7x + 7y - 6x - 7y = 98 - 93
• x = 5

Then use simplified second equation to find the value of y:

• x + y = 14
• y = 14 - x = 14 - 5 = 9

The answer is:

• Roses cost $5
• Seasonal grass cost $9
