Answer:
A.
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:
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:
Therefore, the system of equation representing the given situation will be:
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.
We can see that x=2 and y=4 satisfies our both equation, therefore, Pablo can buy 2 pair of pants and 4 shirts.
