Beth and James each improved their yards by planting rose bushes and geraniums.
They bought their supplies from the same store. Beth spent $86 on 10 rose bushes
and 3 geraniums. James spent $24 on 1 rose bush and 8 geraniums,
Write a system of equations that models this scenario.

A) 10x + 3y = 86, 8x + y = 24
B) 10x + 3y = 24, 8x + y = 86
C) 10x + 3y = 24, X + 8y = 86
D) 10x + 3y = 86, X + 8y = 24

option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one rose bush.

Let y represent the cost of one geranium.

They bought their supplies from the same store. Beth spent $86 on 10 rose bushes and 3 geraniums. The expression would be

10x + 3y = 86

James spent $24 on 1 rose bush and 8 geraniums. The expression would be

x + 8y = 24

Therefore, the system of equations that models this scenario is

10x + 3y = 86

x + 8y = 24

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6

x = 23.78
