Answer:
Each shirt cost $12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to interpret this question and turn each to an equation, letting shirts represent the letter s and ties represent the letter t.
6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 would be interpreted to 6s+3t=79.5 ,and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41 would be interpreted to 3s+2t=41
Hence we have two equations, and we solve them simultaneously.
6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)
3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)
We can either use the substitution method or the elimination method but for the sake of this question, we use the Elimination method.
6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)
3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)
We multiply equation 1 by 2 and we multiply equation 2 by 3, I'm prefer to eliminate the
2(6s+3t=79.5)
12s+6t=159 Equation 3
3(3s+2t=41)
9s+6t=123 Equation 4
We subtract equation 4 from equation 3.
12s+6t=159
9s+6t=123
12s-9s=3s
6t-6t=0
159-123=36
We therefore have
3s=36
Divide both sides by 3
s=36/3
s=12
One shirt cost $12
Answer:
From November to March, the temperature in Alaska is between 0°F/-18°C and -30°F/-35°C, which is very cold. May and September are both often the driest and the wettest months in Alaska's summer.

Answer:
80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
let the number of persons that had fish be x and chicken be y
so
12x+9y=2544------------------1
x+y= 232------------------------2
from 2
x= 232-y
substitute the value of x in 1
12(232-y)+9y=2544
2784-12y+9y=2544
2784-3y=2544
3y= 2784-2544
3y=240
y= 240/3
y=80
put y= 80 in 2
x+80= 232
x= 232-80
x=152
Hence 80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken
