Andrea is buying some new shirts and sweaters. She is able to buy 3shirts and 2sweaters for

\(114or she is able to buy 2shirts and 4sweaters for \)164. How much does a shirt cost? How

much does a sweater cost?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The cost of a shirt is $16and the cost of the sweater is$33

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given 

The cost of 3shirts and 2sweaters is $114

And the cost of2shirts and4sweaters is$164

02

Step 2. Form linear equation

Let xdenote the cost of each shirt.

And ydenote the cost of each sweater.

The cost of 3shirts and 2sweater is $114

So, 3x+2y=114

The cost of 2shirts and 4sweaters is $164

So,2x+4y=164

03

Step 3. Solve linear equation

Solve the linar equations,

3x+2y=114

2x+4y=164

Divide the second equation by 2,

x+2y=82

x=82-2y

04

Step 4. Solve for y

Substitute x=82-2yin the first equation,

3x+2y=114

3(82-2y)+2y=114

246-6y+2y=114

246-4y=114

4y=246-114

4y=132

Divide both sides of the equation by 4,

y=33

The cost of the sweater is$33

05

Step 5. Solve for x

Substitute y=33in the second equation,

2x+4y=164

2x+4(33)=164

2x=164-132

2x=32

Divide both sides of the equation by 2,

x=16

The cost of the shirt is$16

06

Step 6. Chack the answer

Substitute x=16,

y=33in the first equation,

3x+2y=114

3(16)+2(33)=114

48+66=114

114=114

Hence the equation holds true.
