Answer 1

D

Explanation:

D is the only equation that once solved out, equals 119 total bushes that the equation calls for.

8(13)+15= 119

Answer 2

To find out how many bushes are in each row, we need to use the information given in the problem. We know that there are a total of 15 bushes at the entrance to the park, and the garden contains the same number of bushes in each row. Therefore, we can subtract the 15 bushes at the entrance from the total number of bushes in the garden to find out how many bushes are in the rows:

Total number of bushes in the garden = Number of rows × Number of bushes in each row

Total number of bushes in the garden = 4 × Number of bushes in each row

So, we can write:

4 × Number of bushes in each row - 15 = Number of bushes in the garden

We are not given the total number of bushes in the garden, but we can use algebra to solve for the number of bushes in each row:

4 × Number of bushes in each row - 15 = Number of bushes in the garden

4 × Number of bushes in each row - 15 = 35 (since there are 15 bushes at the entrance to the park, the total number of bushes in the garden is 35)

4 × Number of bushes in each row = 50

Number of bushes in each row = 50 ÷ 4

Number of bushes in each row = 12.5

Since the number of bushes in each row must be a whole number, we can round up to get:

Number of bushes in each row = 13

Therefore, each row in the garden has 13 azalea bushes.
