Jesse and Lori went to a florist to buy flowers. Jesse bought 6 roses and 3 carnations for $20.25. Lori bought 8 roses and 3 carnations for $25.75.

Write a system of equations to represent each purchase.

for jesse = 6y + 3x = 20.25
for lori = 8y + 3x = 25.75
y represents the roses and x represents the carnations.
hope this helps!
