Answer 2

Let t = amount charged for t shirt
Let c = amount charged for cars

15t + 12c = 292.50

45t + 10c = 747.50

Answer 5

15x + 12y = 292.50
45x + 10y = 747.50

use subtiutution method or elimination whatever is best
i would use elimination and multiply the 1st equation by -3
therefor
-3(15x + 12y) = 292.50
45x + 10y = 747.50

simplify and solve

Answer 6

hmmmm....im kinda stuck....give me a sec @WillieXO

Answer 7

Answer 9

sorry if i'm wrong ;-;

Answer 10

-3(15x + 12y) = 292.50
45x + 10y = 747.50
=================
-45x - 36y = -877.5
45x + 10y = 747.50
=============
-26y = -130
y = 5

now let's find x

45x + 10(5) = 747.50
45x + 50 = 747.50
x = 15.5

So the T shirts 15.5 and cars 5
