joe spends $8 on lunch and $6.50 on dry cleaning. He also buys 2 shiets that cost the same amount. joe spendes a total of $52. what is the cost of each shirt

Respuesta :

x=amout the shirts cost
52=8+6.50+2x
add 8 and 6.5
52=14.5+2x
subtract 14.5 from 52
37.5=2x
divide 37.5 by 2
x=18.75
It cost $18.75 for each shirt.
