Question

6. A landscaping company ordered 13 plants and 4 trees for a total of $487. If plants are $8 each write and solve a linear equation to find the cost for each tree

Answer 1

trees are $95.75

Step-by-step explanation:

13(8) + 4t =487

104 + 4t= 487

104 -104 + 4t = 487 -104

4t = 383

4/4t = 383/4

t = 95.75

Answer 2

Answer:95.75

Explanation:

13x + 4y = 487

13*8 + 4y = 487

4y = 487 - 13*8

y = (487 - 13*8)/4

y = dollars per tree = 95.75
