Answer:

a) 12x + 20y = 300

b) No

Explanation:

You can define your variables however you like. Let x = number of caps and y = number of shirts.

Using the costs given the equation would be

12x + 20y = 300.

For part b the answer is no, only points with positive x and y values would be solutions, since you cannot have a negative number of caps or shirts.
