Question 317329: Please Help. I believe that A+B ARE DONE , BUT C IS GIVING ME A PROBLEM. i HAVE WORKED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES AND CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT??
Scenario #1: You handle internal accounting for Triad Homes, a land/housing developer. The company purchased land in South Florida and developed 250 acres. Two orders were recently placed with a nursery by the company�s landscapers. The invoices from the orders do not list the per-item price.
a) After contacting the Nursery, they inform you that the first order that was placed was for 12 Indian Hawthorn bushes and 5 Maple trees at a cost of $300.00. Use x to represent bushes and y to represent the trees. Write an equation that illustrates the situation.
12X+5Y=300

b) The Nursery later indicates that the second order called for 6 Indian Hawthorn bushes and 8 Maple trees at a cost of $315.00. Write an equation that illustrates this situation using the same variables you used in part a.
6X+8Y=315
c) Use the equations from parts a and b as a system of equations. Use elimination to determine the cost of each. Describe the steps you used to solve the problem.
