Elisabeth Gregory · Answer 1

For the answer tot he question above, let the number of t-shirts are represented by 't'

number of sweaters are represented by 's'

cost of 1t=10 and cost of 1s=20 so

10t+20s=2000 or (factor out the 10 if you want to simplify)

10 (t+2s) = 10 (200)

divide both sides by 2

t+2s=200
