Focus on Emma first. The cost of a single rose is r, and Emma uses 4 roses, so that part of her bouquet costs 4 times r, or 4r. Emma also uses 6 carnations, and that part of the cost of her bouquet is 6c. The total cost is these two items added together: 4r + 6c. I bet you can solve the rest of this problem now.
