Answer:

Zach earns $10 and for the pair of boots Zach earns $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x the number of pairs of shoes

Let be y the number of pairs of boots

Then we can establish the following system of equations with the data of the statement:

5x + 9y = 185 \\7x + 9y = 205

We subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate the variable y and solve for x, just like this:

7x+9y-5x-9y=205-185\\2x=20\\x=\frac{20}{2}\\x=10

For y replacing in the first equation the value of x and solving for y:

5.10 + 9y = 185\\9y=185-50\\y=\frac{135}{9}\\y=15

So for the pair of shoes Zach earns $10 and for the pair of boots Zach earns $15
