Question 1178288


	x	cost of one package of tulip bulbs									
	y	cost of one package of dahlia bulbs									
											
											
14.00	x	+	3.00	y	=	267.00	...........1				
											
											
7.00	x	+	13.00	y	=	352.00	.............2				
Eliminate 	y										
multiply (1)by		-13.00									
Multiply (2) by		3.00									
-182.00	x		-39.00	y	=	-3471.00					
21.00	x		39.00	y	=	1056.00					
Add the two equations											
-161.00	x				=	-2415.00					
/	-161.00										
x	=	15.00									
plug value of			x	in (1)							
14.00	x	+	3.00	y	=	267.00					
210.00		+	3.00	y	=	267.00					
			3.00	y	=	57.00					
				y	=	19.00					
Ans	x	=	15.00								
	y	=	19.00								
$	15.00	cost of one package of tulip bulbs									
$	19.00	cost of one package of dahlia bulbs
