Each shirt cost $8.50. Each pants cost $12.50.
Since they are similar, and a side of 10 = a side of 4, the ratio would be 2.5 : 1. You would do 6 * 2.5, which would equal 15, and (15 + 2) / 2 = 8.5 or 17/2
Let x represent the width. Since the length is 3 more than 4 times the width, that would be equal to 3+4x. The perimeter is the sum of all sides, so that would be x+x+3+4x+3+4=86. Combine like terms, which would result in 10x+6=86. Subtract 6 from both sides giving you 10x=80. Divide by 10 giving you x=8. That means that the width is 8. The length is 3+4x. Substitute 8 for x giving you 3+4(8). Multiply, giving you 3+32, then add, which would give you 35. 35 is the length.
Factor out the common term 4
-4(2x - y) = 24
Divide both sides by -4
2x-y= - 24/4
Simplify24/4 to 6
2x -y = -6
Subtract 2x from both sides
-y = -6 - 2x
Multiply both sides by -1
y = 6 + 2x
<span>7/8 - 2/3 = 5/24 is the correct answer of the question </span>
