Question 150764
s=price of shirt
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*
