<h3>The solution as an ordered pair is (x,y) = (2,2)</h3><h3>x = 2 and y = 2 pair up together.</h3>
===============================
Work Shown:
4x+2y = 12
4x+2( y ) = 12
4x+2( 2x-2 ) = 12 ... replace y with 2x-2
4x+2( 2x ) + 2( -2 ) = 12 ... distribution rule
4x+4x-4 = 12
8x-4 = 12
8x-4+4 = 12+4 ... add 4 to both sides
8x = 16
8x/8 = 16/8 ... divide both sides by 8
x = 2 is the first part of the answer
Use x = 2 to find y
y = 2x-2
y = 2(2)-2 ... replace x with 2
y = 4-2
y = 2 is the second part of the answer

Improper Fraction
12/7 = 1 5/7
Answer: 28x + 15y = 131 and x + y = 7 where x is the number of Dress shirt and y is the number of T-shirt.
Step-by-step explanation:
We will represent the number of Dress shirt he bought by x and we will represent the number of T-shirt he bought by y.
We know that he spent 131 so the cost of each dress shirt plus the cost of each T-shirt has to equal 131. Also, he bought 7 total shirts so x plus y has to equal 7.
28x + 15y = 131
x + y = 7
Note: it says don't solve so I didn't solve but if you want to solve use these equations.
