Mr. peters just purchased a total of eight shrubs and trees for his yard. the total bill was $260. the shrubs cost $25 each and the trees cost $110 in total. write an equation to determine the number of shrubs purchased.

25s +110(8 -s) = 260

Step-by-step explanation:

25s is the cost of s shrubs.

Using the given information, 8-s is the number of trees purchased, so their cost is 110(8 -s). The total cost is given as 260, so the equation can be written as ...

... 25s + 110(8 -s) = 260

The solution to this is that 7.294 shrubs were purchased, along with 0.706 trees.

Comment on the problem

We believe the correct problem statement is that a total of 7 items was purchased, so the equation is

... 25s +110(7 -s) = 260

The solution to this is that 6 shrubs were purchased (and 1 tree).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of shrubs

Cost of 1 shrub = $25

Cost of x shrub = $25x

Let y be the number of Trees

The trees cost $110 in total.

Cost of y trees = $110

No we are given that The total bill was $260

So,

Hence  an equation to determine the number of shrubs purchased. is

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
