Answer: One sweater: $13 and One shirt: $8

Step-by-step explanation: You have to use elimination. The first formula would be 1x + 3y = 37 and the other is 3x + 2y = 55. Once you use elimination, you just solve a one step equation. When you get x = 13, you plug the 13 into one of the formulas to get 8.
