Cindy and Kathy each improved their flower gardens by planting daisies and carnations. Cindy bought 8 daisies and 5 carnations and paid $46.47. Kathy bought 6 daisies and 9 carnations and paid $61.05. How much is each carnation? Thank You! :)

Idk i am in 5th grade lol

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
