    Number of shorts sold=xnumber of Jeans sold = y 100 items were sold x + y=100 eq 1x=100-y The shorts sold for $15 each, and the jeans sold for $28 per pair. Sales of denim shorts and denim jeans for May totaled $1,955. 15x+28y=1955 eq 2

    substitute the value of x in second equation 15 (100-y) + 28y=1955 1500-15y+28y=1955 13y=455 y=35 x=100-35=65 Number of shorts sold=x=65

    number of Jeans sold = y=35
