Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

defining variables:

since you are trying to find t shirt cost and jeans cost, your variables would be

the cost of the t shirt and the cost of jeans, denoted by any variable you want.

I'll use x and y since they are the most common variables (x = shirt y = jeans)

Equation

4 shirts + 5 jeans = 160 dollars

4x + 5y = 160 (the cost of 4 shirts + the cost of 5 jeans is $160)

the cost of 2 shirts + 6 jeans = $150

2x + 6y = 150

Answer:

Selena: 4t +5j = 160

Taylor: 2t + 6j = 150

t= t-shirts

j = jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

8t + 10j = 320

-8t -24j= -600

-14j = -280

j = $20 each pair of jeans

4t + 5(20) = 160

4t + 100 = 160

4t = 60

t = $15 each t-shirt
