Answer:

Equation 1: x+y=15

Equation 2: 5x+4y=66

Explanation:

Let x be the number of rose bushes and y be the number of geranium plants then:

Number of Rose Bushes + Number of Geranium Plants = Total Number of Plants

This is the first equation. We can rewrite it using variables and a value given in the question:

x+y=15 (States that she spends $66 on 15 plants)

The second equation would be:

5(Number of Rose Bushes)+4(Number of Geranium Plants) = Total Cost of Plants

Note we are multiplying by 4 or 5 because one Rose Bush/Geranium Plant costs $4 or $5.

We can again rewrite the equation using variables and a given value from the question:

5x+4y=66 ("She spends $66")

Therefore...

Equation 1: x+y=15

Equation 2: 5x+4y=66
