Should be markdown, but if you have other options let me know and I'll tell you which it is. But if markdown is one of your choices, or if this is fill-in, it's markdown.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A. $x+y=6...(1)$

$20x+15y=100...(2)$

B. Yes, Pablo can buy 2 pair of pants and 4 shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Let x be the number of pairs of pants and y be the number of shirts.

We have been given that Pablo wants to purchase 6 additional clothing pieces for his wardrobe. We can represent this information as:

$x+y=6...(1)$

We are also told that each pair of pants costs $20 and each shirt costs $15. So the cost of x pairs of pants will be 20x and cost of y shirts will be 15y.

As Pablo wants to spend $100 on clothing, so we can represent this information as:

$20x+15y=100...(2)$

Therefore, the system of equation representing the given situation will be:

$x+y=6...(1)$

$20x+15y=100...(2)$

B. To find if Pablo can buy 2 pair of pants and 4 shirts we will substitute x=2 and y=4 in our both equations.

$2+4=6$
