please help.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

l + p + s = 18 l = s - 3 (18l + 15p + 12s)/18 = 14 s - 3 + p + s = 18 2s + p - 3 = 18 2s + p = 15 [18(s - 3) + 15p + 12s]/18 = 14 (18s - 54 + 15p + 12s)/18 = 14 (30s + 15p - 54)/18 = 14 30s + 15p - 54 = 252 30s + 15p = 306 2s + p = 15 p = -2s + 15 30s - 2s + 15 = 306 28s + 15 = 306 28s = 291 s = 10.4??

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you can't buy only part of a shirt, so i know this is wrong. can someone please help?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OH I SEE WHERE I MESSED UP

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no wait, it still gives me a decimal answer :/

OpenStudy (aripotta):

WAIT. I SEE ANOTHER MISTAKE

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OMG THIS IS MAKING NO SENSE

OpenStudy (aripotta):

l + p + s = 18 l = s - 3 (18l + 15p + 12s)/18 = 14 (s - 3) + p + s = 18 2s + p - 3 = 18 2s + p = 21 [18(s - 3) + 15p + 12s]/18 = 14 (18s - 54 + 15p + 12s)/18 = 14 (30s + 15p - 54)/18 = 14 30s + 15p - 54 = 252 30s + 15p = 306 2s + p = 21 p = -2s + 21 30s + 15(-2s + 21) = 306 30s - 30s + 315 = 306 315 = 306 s = 0??

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (aripotta):

s = 9! HAHA!
