pedro placed an order with an online nursery for 6 apple trees and 5 azaleas and the order came to $219. the next order for 3 apple tree and 4 azaleas came to $132. what was the unit cost for each apple tree and for each azalea?

Respuesta :

X = apples trees
Y= azaleas


6x + 5y = 219
3x + 4y = 132

-2(3x + 4y = 132)
-6x - 8y = -264
6x + 5y = 219
-3y = -45
-3y/-3 = -45/-3
y = 15

6x + 5y = 219
6x + 5(15) = 219
6x + 75 - 75 = 219 - 75
6x/6 = 144/6
X = 24

The cost for each apple tree is $24 and fit each azalea is $15
