You must also ask a question.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Anyway\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x cost of package of tulips
\n" ); document.write( "y cost of package of crocus
\n" ); document.write( "Total attended
\n" ); document.write( "3 x + 2 y = 85 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "10 x + 2 y = 190 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-3 x -2 y = -85
\n" ); document.write( "10 x + 2 y = 190
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "7 x = 105
\n" ); document.write( "/ 7
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "3 x + 2 y = 85
\n" ); document.write( "45 + 2 y = 85
\n" ); document.write( " 2 y = 85 -45.00
\n" ); document.write( " 2 y = 40
\n" ); document.write( " y = 20
