all work is shown and pictured

Explanation:

rhg: right handed gloves

lhg: left handed gloves

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the right-handed glove be x

Let the left-handed glove be y

x+y=12

y=12-x

Cost of right handed glove = $45

left-handed cost =$52

45x+52y=561

Subsitute for y

45x+52(12-x)=561

45x-52x+624=561

-7x=-63

x=9

y=12-9

y=3
