Answer 1

I’m French I hope my answer will please you

x = cost of one vegetable plant

y = cost one fruit plant

Keanu : 6x+2y=52

Ava : 7x+6y= 101

-3(6x+2y)=52)

-18x-6y=-156

-18x-6y=-156

7x+6y=101

→-11x=-55

→x=5

cost of one vegetable : 5$

7x+6y=101

35+6y=101

6y=101-35

y=11

cost one fruit plant : 11$
