Answer:

Jersey cost $8 and pair of shorts $5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to solve this, but I will find the solution using the system of equations.

Let's mark price of jersey with x, and price of pair of shorts with y. That means:

12x + 12y = 156

4x + 6y = 62

Now, we can multiply the second equation with -2 to cancel out y:

12x + 12y = 156

-8x - 12y = -124

That only leaves us with:

12x - 8x = 156 - 124

4x = 32

x = $8

Now we plug the value for x into any equation to find y:

4x + 6y = 62

32 + 6y = 62

6y = 30

y = $5

In order to solve the system of linear equations, the coefficients of one of the variables must be the same number but opposite
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number  so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.

it does not matter which variable you choose.

lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.

so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.

2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6

(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)

4x+6y=12

now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6

-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)

-15x-6y=-12

now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out

4x+6y=12

-15x-6y=-12

-11x=0

x=0

now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.

2(0)+3y=6

3y=6

y=2

so your answer is x=0, y=2
