PLZZZ HELP ME.I WOULD RLLY APPRECIATE IT

this is alegbra 1 so if your rlly good at that please help me, the problem is about systems of linear equations

question: Jack and Julio each improved their yards by planting daylilies and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same store.
Jack spent $22 on 1 daylily and 5 geraniums. Julio spent $30 on 13 daylilies and 1 geranium. Find the cost of one daylily.​

Answer 1

$2

Explanation:

x = daylily

y = geranium

1x + 5y = 22

13x + 1y = 30

Multiply second equation by 5 and subtract the two equations.

1x + 5y = 22

- (65x + 5y = 150)

-64x = -128

x = 2

So one daylily costs 2 dollars
