A landscaper is planting a row of 10 shrubs along the walkway shown below. There must be one shrub at the very beginning and one shrub at the very end, and the shrubs in between will be equally spaced along the length of the walkway.

Answer:

[tex]9d = 36[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question

[tex]Length = 36ft[/tex]

[tex]n = 10[/tex]

From the question, we understand that one shrub must be at both ends.

Taking the first as a point of reference, we're left with:

[tex](n - 1) * distance = 36[/tex]

Substitute 10 for n and d for distance

[tex](10 - 1) * d = 36[/tex]

[tex]9 * d = 36[/tex]

[tex]9d = 36[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]9d = 36[/tex] answers the question
