Alandscaping company ordered 17 plants and 8 trees for a total of $964. if plants are $12 each, write and solve a linear equation to find the cost for each tree.

The cost of each tree is $95

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the cost of each tree in dollars

we know that

The number of plants multiplied by the cost of each plant plus the number of trees multiplied by the cost of each tree must be equal to $964

so

Solve for x

subtract 204 both sides

Divide by 8 both sides

therefore

The cost of each tree is $95

the expression (1.26)2t reveals the approximate rate of increases in the number of plants semiannually.

hope this : )
