A florist sells bouquets of daisies and roses. One week, she sold 10 bouquets of roses and 5 bouquets of daisies for $190. The next week, she sold 6 bouquets of roses and 8 bouquets of daisies for $145. Select the equation that best represents this system. Let x represent roses and y represent daisies.

10x + 5y = 145
6x + 8y = 145

5x + 6y = 145
10x + 8y = 190

10x + 6y = 190
5x + 8y = 145

10x + 5y = 190
6x + 8y = 145

I think you may be looking too into this problem. It's rather simple, as it tells you the equations in the word problem. The first equation is saying that when she sold 10 roses and 5 daisies, she got $190. So, if you put that in math terms it's: 10x+5y=190. The second equation says that she sold 6 roses and 8 daisies for $145. So again in math terms: 6x+8y=145. Hope this helps! (:
