For this case we propose a system of equations:

p: Variable representing the cost of a pair of pants

s: Variable representing the cost of a shirt

A pair of pants costs twice as much as a shirt, means:

p = 2s

The total cost of 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt is $ 18:

p + s = 18

We substitute the first equation in the second:

2s + s = 18\\3s = 18\\s = \frac {18} {3}\\s = 6

Answer:

The following equation can be used:

2s + s = 18

Jean-Paul's error is that he should have written the second equation as h = 4 p + 2.

<h3>How to solve an equation?</h3>

The hardcover book is $8 each and paperbacks for $4 each.

The number of hardcover books, h, sold one day was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold that same day.

Therefore,

h = 4p + 2

Hence,

8h + 4p = 160

Therefore, the right equation are as follows:

h = 4p + 2

8h + 4p = 160

Hence, Jean-Paul should have written the second equation as h = 4 p + 2.
