Answer 184233 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2009-12-27 10:38:41 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2/3a +5 = 1/3 (5a +3)
2a/3+5=(5a+3)/3
2a/3-(5a+3)/3=-5
(2a-5a-3)/3=-5
(-3a-3)/3=-5
-a-1=-5
-a=-5+1
-a=-4
a=4 ans.
Proof:
2*4/3+5=(5*4+3)/3
8/3+5=(20+3)/3
8/3+15/3=23/3
23/3=23/3

4s+3p=85.50 multiply this equation by 3.
3s+5p=115.00 multiply this equation by -4 & add them.
12s+9p=256.50
-12s-20p=-460
-------------------
-11p=-203.5
p=-203.50/-11
p=$18.50 is the price of each pair of pants.
4s+3*18.50=85.50
4s+55.50=85.50
4s=85.50-55.50
4s=30
s=30/4
s=$7.50 is the price of each shirt.
Proof:
3*7.50+5*18.50=115.00
22.50+92.50=115.00
115.00=115.00
