Answer 1

Option A.
`7\ basil` and
`11\ squash`

Explanation:

Let

b-----> the number of packets of basil seed

s-----> the number of packets of squash seeds

we know that

`b+s=18`

`b=18-s` -----> equation A

`1.5b+2.5s=38` -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for s

`1.5(18-s)+2.5s=38`

`27-1.5s+2.5s=38`

`s=38-27`

`s=11`

Find the value of b

`b=18-11=7`

therefore

`7\ basil` and
`11\ squash`
