Answer 8

@jhonyy9 can u help mee

Answer 9

h hostas
p pots of ivy

8h +11p = 130
5h +5p = 70

solve for h and p this system

Answer 10

ok plz wait

Answer 11

let me try and plz don'tleave

Answer 12

is it h= 16.25
p=11.81

Answer 13

i divided 130 by 11 and 8

Answer 14

then you substitute these values inside these equations you get the left side equal right side

5h +5p = 70

5*16,25 +5*11,81 = 70 so this is true ?

Answer 15

i think no bc. just 5*16 = 80

Answer 16

ok so u wanted me to equal both of the eqautions

Answer 17

no

5h +5p = 70

5(h+p)=70 divide both sides by 5 what will get ?

Answer 18

so 14

Answer 19

h+p = 14

right ?

Answer 20

yes thats what i got

Answer 21

ok

and now there is

h+p = 14 => h = 14 -p

this h= 14 -p substitute inside the first equation in place of h and solve it for p

Answer 22

so if i divide 130 by 5 = 26 right???

Answer 23

no you dont need divide 130 by 5

Answer 24

so 8(14)+11(p)=

Answer 25

so p= .61

Answer 26

8h +11p = 130
5h +5p = 70


no

8(14 -p) +11p =130 hence

Answer 27

make the calcule and solve it for p

Answer 28

so p=6

Answer 29

sure ? how you get it ?.

Answer 30

64 +66 = 130

correct

Answer 31

???

Answer 32

ok p = 6 and now calcule the h = ?

Answer 33

h = 14 -p

so h = ?

Answer 34

h= 8 ???

Answer 35

h = 14 -6 = 8

h=8
p=6

do you understand it now ?

Answer 36

so the hosta is 8 and the pot of ivy is 6 right????

Answer 37

exactly perfect
