Answer 1

Required Expression : 7·(s + d) - 25

Step-by-step explanation :

Cost of each plant both buys = $7

No. of plants Stephanie wants to buy = s

Total cost of plants bought by Stephanie = 7·s

No. of plants Diego wants to buy = d

Total cost of plants bought by Diego = 7·d

Total cost = 7·s + 7·d

= 7·(s + d)

Discount applied through coupon = $25

So, Total cost of all their plants with discount = 7·(s + d) - 25

Answer 2

B.$45

explanation: each plant costs 7 dollars so...
6x7=42
4x7=28
42+28=70
70-25=45
