Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Shelia buys flower bulbs from a catalog for $2 each and $4 shipping charge for the whole order

we are told that the total money spent is $20

let the number of bulbs ordered be x, and the total money spent be y

the equation for the situation is

y=2x+4

for a total amount of $20, we want to find x

20=2x+4

20-4=2x

16=2x

divide both sides by 2

x= 16/2

x= 8 bulbs

thats one
