Write an equation that can be used to find price of the shirts and pants.A) Standard form:B) Slope-Intercept Form:C) If the shirts cost $20 each how much were each of the pants?D) Using the standard form, identify the x-intercept of the graph and explain how the x-intercept relates to the price of the pants and shirts.E) Using the standard form, identify the y-intercept of the graph and explain how the y-intercept relates to the prices of pants and shirts.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The answer to your question is belowStep-by-step explanation:Data3 shirts and 2 pair of pantscost =  $300x = shirt pricey = pants pricea)      3x + 2y = 300b)      2y = - 3x + 300         y = -3/2 x + 300/2         y = -3/2 x + 150c)      y = -3/2 (20) + 150         y = -30 + 150         y = 120  each of the pants costs $120d)      3x + 2y = 300  if y = 0        3x = 300        x = 300/3        x = 100              It could be the highest cost of a shirte)      3x + 2y = 300if x = 0       3(0) + 2y = 300       2y = 300       y = 300/2       y = 150              it could be the highest cost of a pair of pants.
