A because 6 times a negative odd number stays negative and 6 times 5 is 30
Hey there!!
Let us take the cost of the belt as ' x '
Then, the cost of the shoes would be ' 7x '
Cost of the shirt would be ' x + 45 '
Cost of belt + cost of shoes = 152
x + 7x = 152
8x = 152
x = 152 / 8
x = 19
Cost of belt = $19
cost of shirt = 19 + 45
= $64
Hope helps!
