bibby · Answer

decide on variables. we can use r and t
if 3r + 2t = 2r + 3t + 1.50
can you rewrite this by solving for r or t?

bibby · Answer

this actually might not be right. I'm trying to get it all in terms of one variable. keep bumping your question

ok
The teacher gives us problems that we have not studies. We have not solved for variables yet but I know how to do it sort of, It is an Ice Storm day question.

This might be unreadable but I think I got the price of a rose. Let me know if you want me to redo anything or go into more detail

3r + 2t = 2r + 3t + 1.50
3r - 2r + 2t - 3t = 1.50
r - t = 1.50
The answer is $1.50 because they are asking for r - t
