Your going to be using the distributive property for this question.
So after you have distributed the 2 to the X and the -4 , you are left with 2x-8=-24
Next, add the 8 to the -24
So your left with 2x=16
Lastly, divide 16/2

Your answer should be x=8
Hope this helped!

aul bought 9 total shirts for a total of $72. Tee shirts cost $10 and long sleeve shirts cost $7. How many of each type of shirt
vodomira [7]

Set up a system of equations:


\text{Total shirts bought}

x + y = 9


\text{Total cost}

10x + 7y = 72


x represents how many tee shirts were bought, and y represents how many long sleeve shirts were bought.


For the first equation, subtract y from both sides to get x by itself:


x = 9 - y


We'll now use substitution. Since x is equal to a value, we can substitute this value for the other equation:


10(9-y) + 7y = 72


Distribute the 10 to both terms in parentheses:


10 \times 9 = 90

10 \times -y = -10y


90 - 10y +7y = 72


Combine like terms:


-10y + 7y = -3y

90 - 3y = 72


Subtract 90 from both sides:


-3y = -18


Divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself:


y = 6


6 long sleeve shirts were bought.


Now you have a value for y. Input this value into the first equation:


x + 6 = 9


Subtract both sides by 6 to get x by itself:


x = 3


3 tee shirts were bought.


The answer is B. 3 tee shirts and 6 long sleeve shirts.
