PLEAS HELPP Patty purchased rose bushes and geraniums for her yard. Patty spent $206 on 14
rose bushes and 12 geraniums. The price of a geranium is $5 less than twice the
cost of a rose bush. What is the cost of one rose bush?

9514 1404 393

  $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r and g represent the costs of a rose bush and a geranium, respectively. The given relations are ...

  14r +12g = 206

  g = 2r -5

Using the second equation to substitute for g in the first equation, we have ...

  14r +12(2r -5) = 206

  38r -60 = 206

  38r = 266

  r = 266/38 = 7

The cost of one rose bush is $7.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
