Amy and sarawong each improved their yards by planting rose bushes and ivy. they bought their from the same store. amy spent 39$ on 6 rose bushes and 3 pots of ivy. sarawong spent 27$ on 2 rose bushes and 3 pots of ivy. what is the cost of one rose bush and the cost of one pot of ivy?

To do this problem, you need to make a system of equations and let statements. Let x = the cost of a rose bush. Let y = the cost of a pot of ivy. 6x+3y =39. 2x+3y=27. Now, subtract the two equations to get 4x=12 (6x-2x,3y-3y,39-27) Now, divide both sides by 4 to get x = 3. Plug 3 in for x to solve y. 39-18=21. 21=3y. Y=7. 27-6=21. 21=3y. Y=7. I hope this helped! Sorry if it’s confusing.
