    Answer: a) y = 4x + 13

    y = amount we both spent

    x = number of tomato plants we both bought

    $13 is the amount I spent on fruits

    b) No, we won't spend the same amount

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Amount spent on tomato plants

    = $4 * x tomato plants

    However, I already spent $13 on fruit ... It will be added to the amount spent on tomato plants

    y = 4x + 13 (where y is the total amount spent by us both)

    Obviously, I spent more than he did
