Did I set this up right?
6x+3y=510
9x+9y=1080
Val sold 2 types of Valentine's day bouquets: Deluxe and Special. Each Deluxe Bouquet used 6 roses and 9 carnations while each Special Bouquet used 3 roses and 9 carnations. Val has 510 roses and 1080 carnations. If Val used all of these flowers, how many Deluxe and how many special bouquets did she sell? Define variables,set up equation, and solve.

Oops I meant 6x+9y=510, 3x+9y=1080
Who knows, you didn't define your variables
if x is the number of Deluxe bouquets, and
y is the number of Specials, then
6x + 3y = 510 or 2x + y = 170
9x + 9y = 1080 or x + y = 120
easy to solve, subtract the last two equations etc
