We will solve this by suing simultaneous equations,
⇒ 5s + 3j = 87
4s + 2j = 64
Multiply the first equation with 4 and the second one with 5, this is to get one of the values equal so that we can cancel them out,
⇒ (5s + 3j = 87) × 4
(4s + 2j = 64) × 5
∴ ⇒ 20s + 12j = 348
20s + 10j = 320
Subtract both the equations. This is how your result (after subtraction) should look like,
⇒ 2j = 28
∴ ⇒ j = $14
Now replace the value of 'j' in one of the original equations,
⇒ 4s + 2(14) = 64
⇒ 4s + 28 = 64
⇒ 4s = 64 - 28
⇒ 4s = 36
∴ ⇒ s = $9
Therefore, one pair of jeans cost $14 and a shirt costs $9
Hope you understood! Feel free to ask me if you didn't understand a step.
878/3 is 28 with a remainder of 10! The error is when they subtracted 258-248 wrong
Answer:
$125/month
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>equation we got:</em>
7500 = 36x + 3000
<em>subtract</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em>
4500 = 36x
<em>divide</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>get</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>itself</em>
125 = x
x = 125
<em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>rayyan</em><em> </em><em>paid</em><em> </em><em>$</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>per</em><em> </em><em>month</em>
