The cost of one pair of shoes is $8.

The cost of one shirt is $12.

<h3>What are the linear equation that represent the question?</h3>

2a + b = 32 equation 1

2a + 3b = 48 equation 2

Where:

  • a = cost of 1 shirt
  • b = cost of one pair of shoes

<h3>What is the cost of one pair of shoes?</h3>

Subtract  equation 1 from  equation 2

2b = 16

b = 16/2

b = $8

<h3>What is the cost of one shirt?</h3>

Substitute for b in equation 1

2a + 8 = 32

2a = 32 - 8

2a = 24

a = 24 / 2

a = $12
