Answer:
He can buy 3 plants
Step-by-step explanation:
$27 is the total amount of money he can spend, if each plant costs $9 the equation would be like this:
9x = 27
Divide 27 by 9 because division is the opposite operation to multiplication
x = 3
Let the smaller integer be x.
The next larger consecutive integer is 1 more than x, so it's x + 1.
x + x + 1 = 67
2x + 1 = 67
Answer is option B.
