Answer:

c) The equation to find the price of each shrub is    $53.50 = 4 p + $17.50

The cost of 1 shrub = p =  $ 9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of shrubs purchased = 4

The price paid for potting soil = $17.50

The total bill of purchase = $53.50

Let us assume the cost of 1 shrub   = $p

The total amount spent of 4 shrubs = 4 x ( The price of each shrub)  =  4 p

TOTAL BILL = The amount paid for 4 shrubs +  AMOUNT paid for SOIL

⇒ $53.50 = 4 p + $17.50

Now. solving for p, we get:

53.50 - 17.50  = 4  p

or, 3 6  = 4 p

or, p = 36/4 = 9

or, p = 9

Hence, the cost of each shrub = $9

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=90-a2

a1=90-30=60

a2=30

The sum of the angles of a triangle are equal to 180 degrees.

a2+a3+70=180

a3+30+70=180

a3=100=180
