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

Answer:

600 Cheese and 900 Pepperoni

Step-by-step explanation:

Setup the equation with 2c(Cheese) + 2.5p(Pepperoni) = $3450(Total Made).

In addition to the equation c + p = 1500(Number of pizzas sold)

Using the second equation (c + p = 1500) solve for one of the variables.

Lets use :

  1. p = 1500 - c
  2. Plus this equation into the original equation, 2c + 2.5(1500 - c) = 3450
  3. Distribute 2.5, 2c + 3750 - 2.5c = 3450
  4. Combine like terms -0.5c + 3750 = 3450
  5. Solve for c: c = 600
  6. Plus 600 in for c into any equation ( lets use c + p = 1500)
  7. 600 + p = 1500
  8. P = 900
