Answer 1

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

let s be the cost of each shirt

20 + 6s = 56

subtract 20 from both sides

6s = 36

divide both sides by 6

s = 6

The cost of each shirt is $6.

Answer 2

Answer:

$6 for 1 shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the cost of 1 shirt.

56-20 = $36 spent on shirts

36 ÷ 6 = $6 for 1 shirt

The equation: $56=6s+20 (where s is shirts)

Using the equation:

$56=6s+20 ––Subtract 20 from both sides (pants cost)

$36 = 6s –– Divide both sides by 6 to get s alone (price for 1 shirt)

$6=s
