Answer:
Explanation:
lets have the shirts represent s and the ties t.
1. 6s+3t=79.50
2. 3s+2t=41
These would be the equations.
you multiply the second equation by -2 to cancel s and add both equations.
6s+3t=79.50
-6s+-4t=-82
-1t=-2.5 (after adding you divide by -1)
t=2.5
You can then subsitute that in either equation.
I am going to ue teh second one.
3s+2t=41
3s+2(2.5)=41
3s+5=41 (subract 5 to isolate variable)
3s=36 (divide by 3 to isolate variable)
s=12
Hence, one shirt is 12$.
