Answer:

Shirts: $8

Pants: $13

Step-by-step explanation:

2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants costs $42.

2x + 2y = 42

3 shirts and 1 pair of pants costs $37.

3x + y = 37

Use substitution to solve. Rearrange the second equation so that it is equal to y. Plug in the value for y into the first equation.

3x + y = 37

y = 37 - 3x

2x + 2y = 42

2x + 2(37 - 3x) = 42

2x + 74 - 6x = 42

74 - 4x = 42

-4x = -32

x = 8

Now that you have the value for x, solve for y using one of the equations. I will use the first equation, but you can use the other one and still get the right answer.

2x + 2y = 42

2(8) + 2y = 42

16 + 2y = 42

2y = 26

y = 13

The shirts cost $8, and the pants cost $13.

What are the expressions?

Romashka [77]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Here we need to solve some expressions. Remember the following rules:

$(+)(+)=+ \\ \\ (-)(-)=+ \\ \\ (+)(-)=- \\ \\ (-)(+)=-$

Then, from the left side:

$5-2\cdot 7=5-14=\boxed{-9} \\ \\ 5-2\cdot 4=5-8=\boxed{-3} \\ \\ 5-2\cdot 0=5-0=\boxed{5} \\ \\ 5-2\cdot -3=5+6=\boxed{11} \\ \\ 5-2\cdot 10=5-20=\boxed{-15} \\ \\ 5-2\cdot -8=5+16=\boxed{21} \\ \\$

from the right side:

$-(-4)+3=4+3=\boxed{7} \\ \\ -(6)+3=-6+3=\boxed{-3} \\ \\ -(-8)+3=8+3=\boxed{11} \\ \\ -(-5)+3=5+3=\boxed{8} \\ \\ -(2)+3=-2+3=\boxed{1} \\ \\ -(15)+3=-15+3=\boxed{-12} \\ \\ -(-6)+3=6+3=\boxed{9}$
