Answer:
trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Rita paid $82 for 5 trees and 1 shrub
5x+y= 82---------1
Lilly bought 2 trees and 1 shrub for $37
2x+y= 37----------2
from 1
y= 82-5x
put the value of y in 2
2x+82-5x= 37
2x-5x= 37-82
-3x=-45
x= 45/3
x=$15
put the value of x in 1
5(x)+y= 82
5*15+y=82
75+y=82
y=82-75
y=$7
Hence, trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
