3s + h = $47
7s + 2h= $107


3s + h =$47
3s - 3s + h = $47 -3s
h = $47 - 3s

7s + 2($47 - 3s) = $107
7s + 94 -6s = 107
s + 94 = 107
s +94 -94 = 107- 94
s = 13

3(13) + h = $47
39 + h =$47
39 -39 + h= $47-39
h = 8

Check
7s + 2h= $107
7(13) + 2(8)= $107
91 + 16= 107
107 = 107

She earns $13 per suit sold and $8 per pair of shoes sold.

R= m/2 (c + K) for k
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

                  \bold{K=\frac{2r}m-c=\frac{2r-cm}m}

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{r= \frac m2 (c + K)}\\^{\div\frac m2}\qquad^{\div\frac m2}\\ \bold{r\cdot\frac2m=c+K}\\{}\ ^{-c}\qquad^{-c}\\\bold{\frac{2r}m-c=K}

Or if you mean r= m/[2(c + K)]

\bold{\quad r\ =\ \frac m{ 2(c + K)}}\\^{\cdot(c+K)}\quad^{\cdot(c+K)}\\ \bold{r(c+K)=\frac m2}\\{}\qquad ^{\div r}\qquad^{\div r}\\\bold{c+K=\frac m2\cdot\frac1r}\\{}\quad^{-c}\qquad^{-c}\\\bold{K=\frac m{2r}-c}
