Answer 2

$6

Explanation:

Set up an equation:

88 = 8x + 6x + 4

Where x is the price of the shirts and pants

Subtract 4 on both sides:

88 = 8x + 6x + 4

-4 -4

84 = 8x + 6x

Combine Like Terms:

84 = 8x + 6x

84 = 14x

Divide by 14 on both sides:

84 = 14x

/14 /14

6 = x

Therefore, the price of each shirrt or pair of pants is $6.
