You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?

First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!

In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32

In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40  

Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!

3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation  

-3X.        - 3X

Net result: Y= 32- 3X

Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable  

2X + 3(32-3X) = $40

2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation  

-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides  

-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7  

X= 8  

Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32

3(8) + Y = $32

24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides

y = 8

ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8

Function 1 is defined by the equation y=-1/4r-5<br> Function 2
steposvetlana [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

as just answered in the other question, the y-intercept is simply the y-value, when x=0.

it is -5 for function 1.

and function 2 clearly crosses the y-axis at y = -7, which is the y-intercept.

as -5 is greater than -7, function 1 had the greater y- intercept.
