y (price)+ b(price) = $16





bPrice = $3.50


yprice = $2.50 each





y(2.50) + (1)($3.50) = $16





y = (16 - 3.50)/2.50





y = 5 roses
Reply:$3.50+$2.50r=$16


$2.50r=$16-$3.50


$2.50r=$12.50


r=$12.50/$2.50


r=5
Reply:x=baby breath


y=roses





x=3.50


y=2.50





16=x+2.50y





16=3.50+2.50y





16-3.50=2.50y





12.50=2.50y





12.50/2.50=y





5=y





u can buy 5 roses
Reply:3.50+2.50=6.00 ( 1 rose, and 1 baby) so 16.00-6.00=10.00 so you have 10.00 left for roses, so you can divide 2.50 into 10, and you get 4 so you can have 5 roses, and 1 baby breath.
Reply:Equation:


3.5x + 2.5y = 16 (where x: baby breath and y: roses)





since u just want 1 bunch of baby's breath therefore:


3.5(1) + 2.5y = 16


2.5y = 12.5


y = 5





hence you can buy 5 roses
Reply:r = 5 roses
Reply:+ b = $16





r+ b = $3.50


r = $2.50 each





2.50y + $3.50 = $16





r = (16 - 3.50)/2.50





r = 5 roses


good luck!
Reply:$16-$3.50=$2.50X





Take 16-3.50, then divide it by 2.50. You can buy 5 roses.
