The equation 2y+53=165 represents the situation “ joel spent $165 on a pair of jeans and two shirts at the same price.”

what does y represent?

answer choices

price of a shirt.

price of a pair of jeans.

number of shirts joel bought.

amount joel spent on the shirts.

To find the answer, let's first figure out what the formula is saying. Since we know Joel spent a total of $165, the right side of the formula represents the total while the left side is made up of the costs of the clothing. Now, since we know that he purchased 2 shirts, the 2y in the formula would represent the total cost of two shirts. Therefore, simply y would represent the price of a shirt.

I hope this helps.
