Cole went to the store and bought pants and shirts. He bought a total of 12 items and paid $234. If Pants cost $22 and Shirts cost $16, how many of each did he buy? Select two equations that could be used to determine the number of pants (p) and shirts (s) Cole purchased

Cole bought 7 pants and 9 shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pants and s represent the number of shirts.

Then using the provided data two equations can be formed.

p + s = 12...(i)

22p + 16s = 234...(ii)

Solve (i) and (ii) simultaneously.

Multiply (i) by 16 and subtract the resultant equation from (ii) as follows:

16p + 16s = 192

-22p - 16s = -234

-6p = -42

p = 7

Substitute p = 7 in (i) and solve for s as follows:

p + s = 16

7 + s = 16

s = 9

Thus, Cole bought 7 pants and 9 shirts.

answer: the common difference is -0.10

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
