Can someone explain how on earth you do this problem - The price of a sweater is $5 less than twice the price of a shirt. If four shirts and three sweaters cost $275, find the price of each shirt and each sweater.

Assume: x = price of sweater y = price of shirt It says: x = 2 * y - 5 It also says: 3x + 4y = 275. Substitute and solve.
