Answer:

Each shrub costs $9.75 and the equation will be 12.5 + 6x = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a customer bought some potting soil for $12.5 and 6 shrubs. All the shrubs were same price. Total expense was $71.00.  

So, the equation will be:

12.5+ 6x = 71.....(i)

Here, x = price of the shrub as all the shrubs are same price.  

Solving the equation number (i),  

6x = 71-12.5

or, 6x = 58.5  

or, x = 58.5/ 6

or, x = 9.75  

So, each shrub will cost $9.75 each.
