8x+204=964 ; Cost of each tree is $95.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost of each tree.

The cost of 8 trees would be .

We have been given that a landscaping company ordered 17 plants and 8 trees for a total of $964. The plants are $12 each.

The cost of 17 plant would be $\$12\times 17=\$204$ .

The total cost of 17 plants and 8 trees is $964. We can represent this information in an equation as:

8x+204=964

Let us solve for x.

8x+204-204=964-204

8x=760

$\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{760}{8}$

x=95

Therefore, the cost of each tree is $95.
