Answer:

The cost of one shirt is $16 and the cost of one sweater is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one shirt be x and the cost of one shirt be y.

7x + 4y = 192 -----Equation 1

8x + 7y = 268 -----Equation 2

Equations 2-1:

8x + <em>7y</em> - 7x <em>- 4y</em> = 268 - 192

x + 3y = 76

x = 76-3y -----Equation 3

Subsitute x = 76-3y into Equation 1:

7x + 4y = 192

7(76-3y) + 4y = 192

532 - 21y + 4y = 192

532 - 17y = 192

-17y = 192-532

-17y = -340

17y = 340

y = 340 ÷ 17

y = 20 (The cost of one sweater is $20)

Substitute y = 20 into Equation 3:

x = 76-3y

x = 76 -3(20)

x = 76 - 60

x = 16 (The cost of one shirt is $16)

Branda and Laurie have rectangular shaped backyards. Branda's yard measures 35 feet by 90 feet. Laurie's yard measures 40 feet b
tia_tia [17]
To find the area of each backyard, we need to multiply the length and width together.

For Branda, her yard is 35 by 90, which means the area is 35*90 which = 3150.

For Laurie, her yard is 40 by 65, which means the area is 40*65 which = 2600.

Now, we are asked to find the difference between Branda and Lauries yard areas. The difference means how much larger Branda's area is than Lauries. 

This means we have to subtract Laurie's area from Branda's.

So, we do 3150 - 2600 = 550 

So, our answer is 550ft^2
