rose cost $	x							
Daisy cost $	y							
								
4x+5y=7.9	.............1	
2x+6y=5.7	.............2	
								
multiply (1)by 		-6						
Multiply (2) by		5						
-24x-30y=-47.4		
10x+30y=28.5		
Add the two equations								
-14x=-18.9		
/-14							
x=1.35						
plug value of 	x	in (1)				
4x+5y=7.9		
5.4+5y=	7.9		
5y=7.9-5.4
5y=2.5		
y=0.50
