Answer 9

Can someone check this?

x+y=21--> ok

10.25x+13.50y=275.85 --> should be 10.95x + 13.50y = 275.85

Answer 10

you are right. typo

Answer 11

10.95*(21-y)+13.50*y = 275.85

Answer 12

What did you get for y?

Answer 13

229.95-10.95y+13.50=275.85?

Answer 14

You need to solve that equation for y.

Answer 15

This equation is not correct: 229.95-10.95y+13.50=275.85?

Answer 16

im not sure what im doing wrong

Answer 17

Did you start with this equation: 10.95*(21-y)+13.50*y = 275.85

Answer 18

You have to get that typo out.

Answer 19

10.95* 21 - 10.95*y + 13.50*y = 275.85

Answer 20

15

Answer 21

15+6=21

Answer 22

229.95 + 2.55y = 275.85

2.55y = 275.85 - 229.95

2.55y = 45.9

y = ?

Answer 23

18

Answer 24

y = 18 so the number of yellow shirts is 18.

21 - 18 = 3 so the number of white shirts is 3.

Check the work.
