You are buying 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants. you spend $300. let x represent the price of the shirt and y represent the price of the pants. write an equation that can be used to find price of the shirts and pants.
a) standard form:
b) slope-intercept form:
c) if the shirts cost $20 each how much were each of the pants?
d) using the standard form, identify the x-intercept of the graph and explain how the x-intercept relates to the price of the pants and shirts.
e) using the standard form, identify the y-intercept of the graph and explain how the y-intercept relates to the prices of pants and shirts.

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

3 shirts and 2 pair of pants

cost =  $300

x = shirt price

y = pants price

a)      3x + 2y = 300

b)      2y = - 3x + 300

        y = -3/2 x + 300/2

        y = -3/2 x + 150

c)      y = -3/2 (20) + 150

        y = -30 + 150

        y = 120  each of the pants costs $120

d)      3x + 2y = 300

 if y = 0

       3x = 300

       x = 300/3

       x = 100              It could be the highest cost of a shirt

e)      3x + 2y = 300

if x = 0

      3(0) + 2y = 300

      2y = 300

      y = 300/2

      y = 150              it could be the highest cost of a pair of pants.

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
