Let us say that:
x = cost of shorts
y = cost of slacks
z = cost of sports coat
From the given statements, we can create the following
equations:
eqtn 1: 3 x + y =
10.96
eqtn 2: 7 x + 2 y +
z = 30.40
eqtn 3: 4 x + z =
14.45
Rewrite eqtn 1 explicit to y:
y = 10.96 – 3 x -->
eqtn 4
Rewrite eqtn 3 explicit to z:
z = 14.45 – 4x -->
eqtn 5
Plug in the values of y (eqtn 4) and z (eqtn 5) to eqtn
2:
7 x + 2 (10.96 – 3 x) + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40
7 x + 21.92 – 6 x + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40
- 3 x + 36.37 = 30.40
- 3 x = - 5.97
x = 1.99
Eqtn 4:
y = 10.96 – 3 x
y = 10.96 – 3 (1.99)
y = 4.99
Eqtn 5:
z = 14.45 – 4x
z = 14.45 – 4 (1.99)
z = 6.49
Therefore each shirt cost $1.99, each slacks cost $4.99,
and each sports coat cost $6.49.

Converse = reversing two statements
If she is ill, then Daphne has the flu.
Answer: (0,−10),(1,−7),(2,−4)
The sum of the two smallest numbers has to equal a number greater that the largest one. Or, how some people prefer it, the sum of any two numbers of the set has to be a greater number than the third one.
So, the set of sides 7,9,17 does not form a triangle.
because 7+9= 16, which is less than the greatest number, 17.
