Answer:

See below in bold.

Explanation:

Let t be the number of tulips you buy and r be the number of rose bushes.

a.

The system is:

t + r = 13

4t + 10r = 100

b.

Solving:

4t + 10r = 100

t + r = 13 Multiply this by 4:

4t + 4r = 52 Subtract this from the first equation:

0 + 6r = 48

r = 8.

Now substitute for r in t + r = 13:

t + 8 = 13

t = 5.

c.

To buy 13 plants and spend $100 you need to buy 5 tulips and 6 rose bushes.
