Answer:

The cost of the shirts are $40 and $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the cost of one shirt

y ----> the cost of the other shirt

we know that

x+y=64 ----> equation A

I assume that the cost x is greater than the cost y

so

x-y=16 ----> x=y+16 ---> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

y+16+y=64

solve for y

2y=64-16

2y=48

y=\$24

Find the value of x

x=y+16 ---->  x=24+16=\$40

therefore

The cost of the shirts are $40 and $24

x+y=64 and x-y=16 can be used to solve the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x,y be the two shirts.

According to given statement;

Bob spent $64 on both shirts;

x+y=64    Eqn 1

The difference between the costs of the shirts was $16 means subtraction;

x-y=16      Eqn 2

x+y=64 and x-y=16 can be used to solve the system.

The sum of two numbers is 46 . the larger number is 12 more than the smaller number. what are the numbers?
snow_tiger [21]
X + y = 46
x = y + 12

y + 12 + y = 46
2y + 12 = 46
2y = 46 - 12
2y = 34
y = 34/2
y = 17

x = y + 12
x = 17 + 12
x = 29

so ur 2 numbers are : 29 and 17

Gloria talked on her cell phone for 320 minutes the first month,243 minutes the second month,and 489 minutes the third month.Her
34kurt

Answer: \$175

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Gloria cannot pay for each minute talked but for packages of 200 minutes at the rate of $25 each, we have to make calculations according to these conditions as follows:

Month 1:

Gloria talked on her cell phone for 320 min. So, she had to buy 2 packages of 200 min for \$25 each package.

Hence:

(\$25) 2= \$50

Month 2:

Gloria talked on her cell phone for 243 min. So, she had to buy again 2 packages of 200 min for \$25 each package.

Hence:

(\$25) 2= \$50

Month 3:

Gloria talked on her cell phone for 489 min. So, she had to buy 3 packages of 200 min for \$25 each package.

Hence:

(\$25) 3= \$75

Then, if we take the total Gloria had to pay for the frist three months, we have:

\$50 + \$50 + \$75= \$175
