Answer: The price for the gloves were $5 each and the price of the hats were $7 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

2g + 4h = 38    solve by elimination

3g  + 5h = 50

-3(2g + 4h) = 38(-3)           -6g -12h=  -114

2 (3g + 5h)= 50(2)                 6g + 10h =100

                                             0 + -2h= -14

                                                      h= 7

-6g -12(7)=-114

-6g -84 = -114

      + 84    +84

-6g =-30

g= 5
