x=58.5/6
x=9.75
Each shrub cost $9.75

ok as you can see the total bill is equal to 12,5+6x=71 where x is the number of shurbs, so you obtain 6x=71-12.5=58.5, that is 6x=58.5, dividing by six you have x= 9.75

9.75 each! 

71.00-12.50 = 58.50 

58.50/6 = 9.75 

check: 9.75x6=58.50+12.50 = 71.00
