You went clothes shopping two times. The first time you bought 3 shirts and 2 pants for $120.00. The second time, you paid $213.00 for 6 shirts and 3 pants. What was the cost for each shirt and for each pair of pants?

PLEASE ANSWER I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Respuesta :

Denote shirts by x and pants by y
So 3x +2y=120
6x +3y=213
Add -2 to top function
-6x -4y=-240
6x +3y=213
Cancel-6 and 6
Add the rest
-1y=-27 cancel negatives
Y=27
3x+2*27=120
3x=66
X=22
Shirt costs $22
Pants costs $27
