j=price of jeans
s+j=64------------------------------Ernest spent a total of $64 for a pair of jeans and a shirt.
j=s+6-------------------------------The jeans cost $6 more than the shirt.
Plug in s+6 for j in the first equation:
s+j=64
becomes
s+s+6=64
Combine like terms
2s+6=64
Subtract 6 from both sides
2s=58
Divide both sides by 2
s=29
s=price of shirt
s+6=price of jeans
Answer:
shirt=$29
*jeans=$35*
