Kathryn and Pranav each improved their yards by planting grass sod and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kathryn spent $27 on 6 ft^2 of grass sod and 5 geraniums. Pranav spent $51 on 9 ft of grass sod and 11 geraniums. What is the cost of one ft^2 of grass sod and the cost of one geranium?

Step-by-step explanation:

6ft² of grass sod + 5 geraniums = $27

9 ft² of grass sod + 11 geraniums = $51

Let x represent 1ft² of grass sod.

Let y represent 1 geranium.

We have 6x + 5y = $27.

=> 1.5(6x + 5y) = 1.5 * $27, 9x + 7.5y = $40.5.

9x + 11y = $51

- (9x + 7.5y = $40.5)

=> 3.5y = $10.5, y = $3.

Therefore 6x + 5($3) = $27,

6x + $15 = $27, 6x = $12, x = $2.

Hence 1ft² of grass sod costs $2

and 1 geranium costs $3.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

i don't have the answer rn but go to math papa. it shows the steps and the answer. hope this : )
