Answer 1

Hope this helps

Explanation:

T means amount of t shirts they are buying

5.99 is amount of shipping cost

first do 32.24-5.99=26.25

then do 26.25/3=8.75

so 8.75= cost of shirt

20a. (8.75*T)+5.99

20b.(I might get this part wrong just let me know)

M=Y2-Y1/X2-X1

so 32.24-5.99/3-0= 26.25/3 Or 8.75

20c=Y=Mx+B

3=8.75(32.24)+b=-279.1
