    Let

    x = number of tulips

    y = amount of daffodils

    We have the following system of equations:

    x + y = 15

    5x + 2y = 45

    Solving the system

    Step 1:

    -5x + - 5y = - 75

    5x + 2y = 45

    Step 2:

    -3y = - 30

    y = 30/3 = 10

    Step 3:

    x = 15-y

    x = 15-10

    x = 5

    Answer:

    she should use

    10 daffodils

    5 tulips
