Question

Please help! I am confused

Answer 1

The cost of jeans is represented by 60 since they only bought one pair and the 20x represents the cost of the shirts because we don't know how many shirts she bought and x represents how many shirts she bought. 

Answer 2

I would say the 60 + 20 represents how the shirts cost the same amount. Then I would say the x either represents the cost before tax or how to find the cost of the shirts.


I hope this helps!
Good Luck!
