Eight friends started a business. they will wear either a baseball cap or a shirt imprinted with their logo while working. they want to spend exactly $36 on the shirts and caps. shirts cost $6 each and caps cost $3 each. write a system of equations to describe the situation. let x represent the number of shirts and let y represent the number of caps.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
