    First, you want to get s by itself

    To do this, add 15 to both sides

    s=$15.92+15

    s=$30.92

    This would be the cost of the shirt, not the pants

    To find how much the pants cost, you would have to add $5.30 to the cost of the shirt, since the pants cost $5.30 more than the shirt

    s=$30.92+$5.30

    s=$36.22

    So the pants cost $36.22
