So 7/4 decreased by a number -x is 2 =2 or
7/4-x=2
add x to both sides
7/4=2+x
subtract 2 from both sides
2=8/4
7/4-8/4=-1/4
x=-1/4
Its simple.
Cost of t-Shirt each=$14
Cost of shorts each=$18
No. of clothes=x t-shirts and y shorts
so just multiply cost of each t-shirt no.of t-shirts and do the same thing with the Shorts
