Let the price of 1 shirt be represented by = s

A pair of pants costs twice as much as a shirt, then the cost of pants is = 2s

The total cost of 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt is $18 , means : s+2s=18

Solving this we get,                            

3s=18

s=6

So, the price of 1 shirt is $6 and price of 1 pair of pants is = 2s = 2*6 = $12.

Answer:

s + 2s = 18, will be the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 's' represents the cost of 1 shirt.

As per given statement in the question "a pair of pants costs twice as much as a shirt".

The cost of a pair of pants = $2s

The total cost of 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt = $18

so the equation to find the cost of 1 shirt will be

s + 2s = 18

3s = 18

\frac{3s}{3}=\frac{18}{3}

s = $6

Simplify 3 3/4- 1/5
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 3 11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

You would first simplify 3 3/4 which is 15/4 then you would subtract it with 1/5

Next, you would have to find the GCD ( greatest common factor) for 15/4 and 1/5 which is 20 so multiply 15 by 5 and 4 by 5 which is 75/20, then multiply the top and bottom with 4 for 1/5 which is 4/20 . You then would subtract the simplified forms 75/20 with 4/20 Which is 71/20 which u can simplify to

3 11/20.

the perimeter of a triangle is 59 in. The longest side is 11in. longer than the medium side, and the medium side is 3in longer t
Nataly_w [17]
Let the length of shortest side be - x
length of medium side - x +3
length of longest side - x +3 + 11
so , according to question
=> x + x +3 + x +3 + 11 = 59
=> x + x +x + 3 + 3 + 11 = 59
=> 3x = 59 - 17
=> 3 x = 42
=> x = 42/3
=> x = 14
Shortest side = x = 14
medium side = x + 3 = 14+3 = 17
longest side = x + 3 +11 = 14 + 3 + 11 = 28
