Answer:
<h3>Princeton Florist</h3>
Let the total charge is y, the number of small arrangements is x.
<u>Total charge will be:</u>
<h3>Chad's Flowers</h3>
<u>Total charge will be:</u>
<u>Since the total charge is same in both shops, we have:</u>
<u>Solve for x:</u>
- 17x - 13x = 47 - 35
- 4x = 12
- x = 3
<u>Total cost is:</u>
<u>Small arrangements</u> = 3, <u>cost </u>= $86

open the bracket
x + 3 = -x -1
x+x= -1-3
2x= -4
X = -4/2= -2
