Kyler Huffman · Answer 1

12 flowers

cost is $45

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations and set them equal to each other.

F = 33 + x

A = 21 + 2x

33 + x = 21 + 2x

move numbers to one side and x's to the other side to solve for x = 12

Put 12 back in each equation to get the cost.
