Awholesaler is offering two different package deals of roses and carnations to florists. one package contains 20 dozen roses and 34 dozen carnations for $504.00. the other package contains 15 dozen roses and 17 dozen carnations for $327.00. let x = cost of one dozen roses let y = cost of one dozen carnations a. write a system of equations for this problem. solve this system for the cost of one dozen roses and the cost of one dozen carnations.

A wholesaler is offering two different package deals of roses and carnations to florists. One package contains 20 dozen roses and 34 dozen carnations for $504.00. The other package contains 15 dozen roses and 17 dozen carnations for $327.00.  

Let x = cost of one dozen roses  

Let y = cost of one dozen carnations  

a. Write a system of equations for this problem.  

1st; 20x+34y= 504

2nd: 15x+17y=327  

b. Which equation can be multiplied by a coefficient to create an opposite coefficient? 2nd is the best choice

What is that value? -2  

c. Solve this system for the cost of one dozen roses and the cost of one dozen carnations.

1st: 20x+34y=504

3rd: -30x-34y=-654

Add 1st and 3rd to get:

-10x = -150

x = 15 (# of dozens of roses)

Substitute into 20x+34y=504 ot solve for y:

20*15+34y = 504

300 + 34y = 504

34y = 204

y = 6 (# of dozens of carnations)

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
