Question

Suzy buys 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for 42 dollars at the store. Annette buys 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for 37 dollars.

Create a system of equations that can be used to solve for the cost of the shirts and pants.

a
2s + 2p = 37
3s + p = 42

b
2s + 2p = 37
s + 3p = 42

c
2s + 2p = 42
3s + p = 37

d
2s + 2p = 42
s + 3p = 37

Answer 1

2s+2p = 42,

3s+p = 37,

2 shirts at 8 = 16,

2 pants at 13 = 26.

Hope this helps.
