Answer: Equation: $5x = 62.50 - 12.50$ or $x = \frac{62.50-12.50}{5}$

x is the cost of each shrub x = $10

Step-by-step explanation: Total bill = $62.50.

Subtract the cost of potting soil for $12.50 to find the cost of just the shrubs. 5x equals that amount

5x = 62.50 - 12.50

5x = 50 divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 50/5

x = 10
