You buy one shirt for $22 and two pairs of shorts. Your total cost is $56. Assuming both pairs of shorts cost the same
amount, what is the price of one pair of shorts?
What is the correct equation and solution for this problem?
2 x - $22 = $56; x = $34
2 x + $22 = $56; x = $34
2 x + $22 = $56; x = $17
2 x - $22 = $56; x = $17
