You spent $175 on a pair of shoes and three shirts. Each shirt cost the same amount. The shoes cost four times the amount of one
sergey [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. making the equation:

shoes = x

shirts = y

175 = x + 3y

x = 4y

2. graph it (I'm using desmos)

the green line is for 175 = x + 3y and the purple one is for x = 4y

3. find the price

x = 4y

175 = 4y + 3y

175 = 7y

y = 175/7 = $25

price of the shirt = $25

x = 4y = 4*25 = $100

price of a pair of shoes = $100
