Answer 14

a.
44 weeks
c.
27 weeks
b.
50 weeks
d.
34 weeks

Answer 15

s = b + 20 (skirt costs $20 more then a blouse)
s = 65
now sub 65 in for s
65 = b + 20 -- subtract 20 from both sides
65 - 20 = b
45 = b

thats your first one...
=====================
84 + 50 + 5x = 300 (x stands for # of weeks)
134 + 5x = 300 -- subtract 134 from both sides
5x = 300 - 134
5x = 166
x = 166/5
x = 33.2 weeks

My answer is not an answer choice....closest is 34 weeks.
